Economic-Stock

As time passed and the stock market progressed, the group came to realize that not everything we had hoped for and expected to occur happened. The stock market is an ever-changing entity, coursing its way up and down the monetary currents. These currents are treacherous and unpredictable and may bring uncountable wealth to those who dare to navigate its precarious waves.

However, taking risks does not guarantee success. As our team painfully realized, the more risks you take, the greater the possibility of failure. Our team spent a majority of its funds on emerging markets and energy industries. Unfortunately, these investments did not flourish and prosper as we expected them to, causing us to lose much of our investment funds in the process.

Despite our losses, our team realized that an utmost essential element to success in the stock market is working together. Only through working together as a team, each member communicating their ideas and opinions, can a team come up with a combination of investments and risks that prove to be successful in the unpredictable stock market. The contribution of each member led to VURRUY's purchase of very diverse investments, ranging from BP to Abercrombie and Fitch.

Overall, this project was a rewarding experience, exposing each member to the different roles and responsibilities required in the world of investing. We also found that knowledge about the stock market can be found in our personal, everyday experiences. For example, recent surges in oil prices are evident in the gas stations we use daily. We were able to apply this everyday knowledge to our investments in the stock market.
