A lot has been discovered while doing this project.

It was entertaining to do seeing as I

had no clue what stocks actually were before this year. It was interesting to see my stocks rise
and fall compared to the other things happening in the world.
Overall, my takeaways from this project were that someone shouldn't invest in stocks
“lightly”. They should be very careful about the stocks they choose, how much money they
support, and when they decide to pull out. People who invest in stocks need to pay attention to
outside factors and how they can affect their stocks. Something else that I learned that I thought
was important to point out was, that now I realize why the stock market crash was so bad and
how that was even possible. Before I knew what stocks were, it was hard for me to realize how
something like that was possible.
All of my stocks dropped dramatically. I lost a lot of money, hypothetically. NYT stocks
dropped by $8.52, AAPL dropped by $32.05, and Dis dropped by $40.18. I lost exactly
$4262.08. I reckon my stocks did so badly due to Disney's covid problems and their financially
supporting the “don't say gay” act, however, the Disney Plus subscribers have rocketed. In this
examination of the stock market, I simply cannot overlook the gas and oil companies like Exxon
and Chevron, both of which have been prospering since the war in Ukraine. Which has, in turn,
made my stocks less valuable.
Starting out I had no investment strategy. Ever since then I have regretted that. I would
not have been able to foresee a Russian-Ukrainian war but I'm sure I could have thought of a
better stock to invest in the New York Times. Looking back, I would've changed everything
around, I should have invested in Nothing Every Stock you can think of is doing badly. Except
for oil and gas companies which are on a steady rise. I would not do this with real money
because I cannot foresee the future.
