Unlike financial literacy, this class will focus on personal finance, investing, entrepreneurship, and business. The class will be held in the in the auditorium at 4:30pm.
It will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We will create a new stock chart every Monday, focus on real estate and talk about personal finance on Wednesdays, and revisit our stock chart every Friday to check the stocks progress. This class is optional and it is not graded, but in order to enter a $25 dollar charge is required.
At the beginning of the semester, students will be required to create a stock portfolio out of $20 of the $25 dollars they paid. They will invest, trade and so on every week and at the end of the semester, if the original amount is not tripled there will be a written test for a final grade. The other $5 will be used to create a class stock portfolio in which votes will be held every Monday in order to decide which stocks are bought. The only person in control of the class portfolio will be the speaker, or me. The money made by a single student will be there's to keep and the money made by the class will be donated to the community. On Wednesdays we will talk about financial independence and play fantasy real estate. A game in which you find a house and predict how much it will sell for on the market.
