Overall, we made money, so we can conclude that we generally did well. We had some issues with our stock in General Mills because it just kept getting worse and worse. We eventually sold off that stock so it wouldn't drag our investments down with it. Bigger economic and current events didn't really effect our stocks too much, especially our stock in FedEx because we found that people are pretty much always going to be shipping things.

=__**End of Project:**__=
 * 1) Our intial philosophy stayed the same. We really just went with the flow of things, and looked at what was doing well and bought those stocks. Our philosophy really worked well for us, we did run into a few problems with some of our stock, but we sold that stock and started to make a bunch more money and pulled up our ranking. Our strategy was really just look at random stocks and see how they were doing and it they were doing well we bought their stock.
 * 2) I think if we could go back, we would do more research, and find out more about the companies. Also I think we would buy a lot more stock in some of the companies instead of just buying a little bit of stock and saving money.
 * 3) We learned that the stock market is one really crazy roller coaster, that changes constantly, and that you really can't predict what is coming next. We didn't really have toubles with anything except finding the price we wanted to pay for a certain amount of stock, but other then that we did just fine. Not really because this project is self explanitory and you just need to do the project and pay attention to what you are doing.
