Stock Market Simulation WebQuest 2015

Use you Stock Market WebQuest worksheet to do the eTextbook goals, Stock Market activities on the Dow and NASDAQ, and then you can play the simulations.


This one is more complex and has a variety of scenarios. It also uses real company stock for examples.

How'd you do? Record your percent return on your worksheet.  Remember, you started with $15,000.  Also keep in mind that this is just a simulator--you'll never see returns like this in real life.

Stock Market Simulation 2?
If you still have time check out a Khan Academy simulation.  See me (or comment) if you find another one that you like too.

Bonus question:
Was the 1929 crash the biggest stock market crash in U.S. history? It depends on how you measure it. Check out more online if you have time.
