Stock Market Simulation: Navigating Holiday Purchases and Strategic Selling

In this stock market simulation, I began with a total of $100,000 and ended with $106,913.74, after various strategic purchases and sales influenced by seasonal trends. Key investments included Wal-Mart and Disney for holiday shopping, Best Buy for electronics, and Kraft for affordable food. Notable transactions involved successfully selling Mastercard stocks and diversifying by purchasing McDonald's, Nike, and UPS to capitalize on market movements. This experience highlights the importance of timing and market analysis in investment strategies.
