You can invest in the market by choosing any one or more of the following investment choices:

– One or multiple stocks*;
– A mutual fund*; and/or
– Commodities**.

Please email Mo (moramziedu@gmail.com) with a short description of how you are going to spend your $5,000 in mock money and why you think you are making a prudent investment.

Your assignment is to:

(1) Track how your stock is doing over this period and present its performance, and

(2) Explain what drove your investment to go up or down over the period.

You are welcome to include charts, tables and/or graphs depicting the performance of your stock. Your assignments should be approximately 3 pages including any charts.
