Stock Market 20% Time Project

After the small depression the S&P 500 index is up 4 percent in less than two weeks and 6 percent above early April lows. For several weeks the market had been in the lower half, however this recent rebound has been sticking around longer than past. The market projection has also shown that the vital signs have returned to normal. As is the cycle it is possible for the market to drop back to all-time lows.

Most Recent news in the Stock market is all about the trade war even though the trade war is a huge deal, there is some other news due to the recent denuclearized area in the Korean peninsula. All political news will affect the stock market in some way, this is no different.  Stock markets  have been on a wild ride  recently, plunging one day and then soaring the next.The  denuclearize has caused the stocks/ Economy to inflate due to high tensions.    Inflation in January  rising more than expected, sending stocks and bonds lower. 

One reason for the recent depression in the stock market is because of the threat of the United States beginning a trade war with other super powered nations such as china. 2.7 percent of U.S. consumption is created in china, so if the United states were to begin to negotiate a better deal and it didn't go well the U.S. would lose 2.7% of production which would be a major hit in terms of an economical impact.  With  the S&P 500  closing down more than 2.2 percent, the broad market index posted its worst start to April since 1929, according to S&P Global. However, the fear of a trade was has receded because both china and the U.S. realized the war would slow the GDP of both countries. 

My 20% time Project: For one month using investopedia's stock market simulator starting with $10,000 to pick 5 different stocks to invest in whether it be industrial, electronic, or production. Everyday I would check on how the Stocks were progressing and it started off pretty ok however, throughout the entire duration it just got out of hand. The Stocks I chose were Microsoft, Google, Emerson Electric, Acme, and Boeing. By the end of one month every stock besides Acme had a net loss and the account had ended with a loss of 715.85 which is not good to begin with, in addition to this the account was showing an annual income of -30%. Though most were negative things can always change and eventually it can become positive.
