I know, I know. The theory sounds nutty. I can barely use a coupon, never mind buy stocks. However, you might remember this old post, where I suggested you all invest fake money in the real stock market, just to see how your investments went.
Well, I followed my own advice, and I’m way up. Like, more than $400,000 up.
Here’s how it went down.
Anyone who signs up with WeSeed gets $1,000,000 (in fake money) to invest. You can research your stock options there or just buy on a whim, which I did. Here’s a sample of companies I invested in and why, their stock market symbols, and how much the stocks made me:
Apple (AAPL) +208,663.98
In three words: I’m a Mac.
American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) +$12,900
What can I say? Their pants are a perfect fit.
Amazon (AMZN) $31,949
I’m not going to discuss how much I love Amazon—or how often I
place an order there. I’m just not.
Target (TGT) $1,191
’Nuff said.
In the end, investing in companies I love paid off big time for me. (Granted, in fake money. But whatever!)
If you had to invest in a company, based strictly on the fact that you love it, which company would you put your money in?
