Stock Market Simulation WebQuest 2014

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

Simulation I [Only works on some school computers, used as an example]
1. Click here and make sure that it opens in another window.
2. Read the introduction and then click on "Trade Traditional Stocks"
3. (You don’t need to update the Shock player. Don't update. If you have trouble, let me know.)
4. Buy stock in Duke, YeeeeeHaw.com, the Electric Co, and hypercola in any combination.

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.

Bonus question:
Was the 1929 crash the biggest stock market crash in U.S. history? It depends on how you measure but there's some interesting info here.
If you still have time, check out the Golden Age of Radio WebQuest.
