I’m in high school, and there is an online game whereby you can trade stocks with virtual money. We are trying to get more members, but unfortunately it’s moving very slowly. Whenever I say the word "stock-market", people are already turned off by that.
What are ways to present the stock market in an interesting way?
I also can’t charge money for the game.

Today, January 22, 2008 all the news channels were focusing on the stock market a huge risk of recession. They also said that the federal government reduced interest rates. I only saw bits and pieces of the news report. What exactly happened? What was the scare? What did the government do?
What happened today on Wall Street was warned about as far back as 2003 . The Bush approach to business is to first destroy a federal government, install un-proven radical theories then spin those ideas into a patriotic financial action plan to re-build America by 0 percent financing on money lent by China, India and the European Union along with global investors like me.
I’ve heard a lot of people say that the economy will start to recover in the second half of 2009. I’ve also heard that the stock market is 6 to 9 months ahead of the economy. Does that mean that the stock market will turn bullish earlier than mid 2009, or is that when the stock market will bottom out?
It will turn around when everybody who is scared has dumped their stock. The only way to know is to watch the charts. Based on past history, the turn will be a wide saucer, rather than the letter V. There is no way to predict exactly what month this will happen, so people who are "saying" things like this are trying to sound important and should be ignored.
I’ve tried winning at the stock market, and so far it hadn’t worked. So I figured if I found out how to lose money then NOT do it, that might work!
So, how do you lose everything in the stock market?
I can’t tell you how to loose in the market because I don’t.
To be a good trader/investor you need
1 – A written sound trading/investment plan with rules that will not only help you but more importantly protect you, mostly from yourself.
2 – Sufficient trading/investment capital. Use your own money, there’s no need to go into debt so that you trade/invest.
3 – A written money management program in place. Remember never invest 100% of your capital into any one security and never have 100% of your capital invested.
4 – A full and complete understanding of the rules & regulations of the industry.
If you don’t have all of the above, you’ll always be a looser.
Remember you don’t have to be right 100% of the time, just 60% and you can make a very good living.
It’s not always about making money, it’s also about protecting what you have.

Also, how much wealth was lost in terms of money during the crash? Can anyone explain what the overvaluation of stocks is? The stock market is very confusing to me, but I think it’s wise to invest. Any help would be great.
I’m getting conflicting information. Online, I read that the 16 billion dollars were lost, but what you said contradicts this.
I also read that more than 500 points were lost.
At the 1929 high the Dow Jones Industrial Average stood at 380.33. By the time the crash hit bottom in 1932 the Average stood at 42.84. But you need to realize that the Dow Average was made of the the leading stocks. The average fall for the average stock was much much more. Many went bankrupt and of course the investors lost everything who invested in them. Heck, I doubt that anyone knows for sure how much money was actually lost during the crash directly from the crash. One thing you need to be aware of is that a dollar back then was not the same as a dollar today. A dollar then was worth about somewhere in the neighborhood of $50.00 today, mabe more. The most expensive hotel room in NYC then cost $5.00. What is it today, about $500 or $1000. Because of liberal margin requirements then, in the first week of the crash most speculators lost everything.
As for being wise to invest. I am in agreement with that statement. But one does have to be somewhat rational about investing. First of all part of a persons investment policy should be to have a cash reserve on hand for when the market does take one of its periodic 25% to 35% reevaluations. Secondly, when the market has a somewhat prolonged rise, that is a time to bank some of the profits–add to the cash reserves.
Overvaluation of stocks is when the average pe of the average stock rises greatly above the norm. I believe the average now of the S&P 500 is about 17. At times it has been above 25, and occasionally even higher. At other times it has been below 10. When it is below 10, stocks are cheap. When it is above 20 stocks are very expensive.
