Economics Stock Market Assignment For this assignment, you will choose any corporation and “purchase” stock from that company.  Look in the business section of the newspaper and locate a company that you would like to “purchase” stock from.  Identify the symbol and price.  You will track your stock purchase for 10 days or until you complete this class.  On the tenth day, “sell” your stock and determine if you made or lost money on your transaction.  You may use the newspaper or the Internet in order to track your stock.  We will study the stock market in more detail in Unit 4. See Mrs. Matney for a stock tracking sheet. There is an example on the following page that shows the stock activity for McDonalds.
