Selling Your Stock
 

Step 1: Review the stock market with BrainPOP. Watch the movie. The Reiew Quiz is optional.

Step 2:  In the first column under Selling on your chart, list the names of the five corporations in which you have invested. Next to each name, in the second column, write the symbol for each corporation.

Step 3: Look up the current value per share of each corporation. Enter the symbol in the box underneath "Get Quote" (right side - near the top) and click the "Go" button. The dollar value that appears is the cost for one share of that corporation's stock at that moment. Enter that value in the column "Cost Per Share" on your chart.

Step 4: In the column, "Number of Share," record the number of shares of each corporation you originally purchased.

Step 5: Do some math! Multiply the cost per share times the number of shares to determine to "Total Selling Price Per Corporation." Then add those numbers to determine your "Total Selling Price for 5 Corporations."

Step 6: Pay your stockbroker. Determine the commission by multiplying your total selling price for 5 coporations by .01 (1%). Remember - we're dealing with money - so you must round off to the nearest penny!

Step 7: Subtract the commission cost from the money you got by selling your stock.

Step 8: How'd you do?  Compare the "bottom line" on both sections of the chart. If you have more money after selling than you originally invested, you made money! But, if you have less money after selling, you lost money!!

Step 9: Give your completed chart to Mr. Van Duyne or Mr. Dallos, and go to Just for Fun!
