=__**End of Project:**__=
 * 1) At the end of the Stock Market Game we had a gain of $2,674
 * 2) media type="googlespreadsheet" key="pcyHNHDpNENGEwq2FzqqfYQ" width="500" height="300"
 * 3) Now that the game is over we didn't do so bad with are "Dumb Luck" strategy, we had a gain of $2,647. If we were to do it again i would do alittle more research into the stocks. We would also like tp use all the money we were given to use and invest in more stocks. The stocks I research I bought. And most of my stocks did good but some we thought would do good didn't, like Wal-mart which we thought would do great givine the econmic statis of America.
 * 4) [|Google(GOOG)] link to current events.[|Amazon(AMZN)] link to current events
 * 5) We learned what stocks are used for. Also learned that stocks are unpredictable, they can go up one day the be way down the next. We had troubles deciding what stocks to buy, but we decided to invest in more food and electronics and it worked. The wikispace wass alittle hard to understand, but once you get going it isn't to hard. Over all the game was pretty interesting and a very important thing to learn about.
