Instructions for final day of Stock Market Activity

Today we will finish out our Stock Market Activity.  You should have 6-7 day of prices to create a trend of your 10 chosen stocks.  Today we will complete day 6-7 of new prices, net worth, and profit or loss. 

Today we will insert 4 graphs that will hopefully show you a trend of what your stock prices did over a period of time.  You will insert 2 line graphs, a column graph, and a bar chart.

The first graph will be a Stack line chart with Markers.  You will choose two of your stocks and create a line chart that shows their price trend over your 6-7 days of data.  To do this you click on the first stock you want and then hold down the CONTROL  key and click on each days price going across your data (from the original price to your last days price) and then do the same thing for your second choice.  This should highlight all of the information for those two stocks.  You will title this chart Seven Day Price Trend.

Your next graph will be a 2D or 3D bar chart.    In this graph you will Highlight all 10 of your stocks then hold the control key down and then highlight each of the price columns from top to bottom.  Then insert a 2D or 3D graph and change the name to Seven Day Price Trend.

Stock Market Day Two

Today you will need to add columns G, H, and I.  New Price Day Two, New Net Worth, and Profit or Loss.  Again use the text wrap feature to make yours look as close to the example as possible.


Today you will check your investments for day 2.  You will find the price for each of your stocks and enter them in to the New Price Day Two column.  You will then enter a formula in column H that will multiply the original number bought (Col E) times the new price (Col G), this will give you the new net worth of your investment.  To calculate if you are making a profit or loss your will place a formula in col I that subtracts the original amount spent (Col F) from the new net worth (Col H).  You will need to place formulas for totals at the bottom and format all of your information accordingly.  Any thing that is a $$$ should be formatted for currency and 2 decimal places anything else should be for general and 0 decimals.
