This week in economics was pretty interesting, we learned about a bunch of new stuff in the topic on business structures. We have also continued playing the stock market simulation, where we can buy, sell, and trade stocks without spending and losing real money. The game allows you to surf a copy of the actual stock market and interact with it. We were given 100,000 each to spend as we thought was fit, and give us the opportunity to make a lot of money, although most of us were losing money by the end of class.

This week in economics we covered many new concepts of competition, we also covered business structures, we also got to watch a movie that went into the major corporation of Pepsico. But the major thing we did was start a stock market simulator called Market Watch. It uses fake money to give the player control over simulated stocks that are very similar to the real thing to give the user control over the market.
