8th place, some may say that's a good thing until they hear the contest is only out of 10 teams. Beast123 had good companies but just a few problems. BP was what drove us to the ground. BP did the worst of the three, losing money, a lot of money. Mastercard Inc. did the second best making more than $270,000 in 10 weeks. Apple is what keep us out of last place. It raked in the most cash, losing money very rarely A lesson can be learned from our failure. That is, a team is only as strong as its weakest link. We did not like failure but it sure did like us. Even though the end results may sound bad it has taught us to really think things through and has been a learning process. E.H.

In our opinion we believe we did very well. Only because it is our team. In other peoples eyes we did poorly. All of our stocks together priced at $1,030,374.72. We made $30,374.72. We started with 1,000,000. The bottom team's stock price is 999,128.63. hey lost money. They lost $817.37 overall. The top team's stock price value is $1,074,987.97. They made $74,987.97 from the $1,000,000. They made $44,613.25 more than our stocks. We did poorly because we had 2 out of 3 good stocks. The bad stock was B.P. B.P lost $4.36 per share from when it was gaining $1.27per share. Apple made $109.28 per share. Mastercard made $45.62 per share. B.P. made our price together drop rapidly. R.F.

We didn't do the best but we did do better then some groups. So in conclusion we had a pretty well turn out but we could have done better. I think we could have chose different stocks like Nike, Google, or McDonalds, but I think the stocks we chose were good as well. Apple started off with 463.7 and ended up with $572.98, Mastercard started off with $394.82 and ended up with $440.44, and BP started with $46.35 and ended up with $41.99. Apple gained 109.28, Mastsercard gained 45.62, and BP lost 4.36. I think that because we turned out to come in 8th with 7.82%. Only 5.46% away from the 1st place team. If you look at Apple and Mastercard you would think that our team would have done well but if you put Apple, Mastercard, and __BP__ together you get a BIG thumbs down. This is a first time first fail but that happens to most people, so I am not surprised. A.M.
