2020-2021 Stock Market Rise

 

Have you ever thought about investing in stocks? Well now is the time to start investing. Since the start of 2020 stocks have been rising, but in 2021 the stocks have gone crazy, some have grown 1000%. Game stop is one that has grown in extreme amounts at the start of 2021 it was around $17 a share. At the end of January it rose to $470, yes like all stocks it went back down but it is still in the $300 range. If you bought 100 shares at the beginning of the month which would be $1700, and you took out at the peak of the month you would be at $47,000. AMC Entertainment is another that rose extreme amounts since the start of 2021. At the start of the year it was around $1 a share, since then it grew to $19. Yes only a gain of $18 but say you buy 100 shares at the beginning of the month you would be at $1900 with only starting with $100. Many people know of Bitcoin which is a much more expense stock compared to others. Around April of 2020 Bitcoin was $5,000 a share and at the start of January 2021 it rose to $40,000, which is crazy by itself. You can do the math on that and see how much you would gain. 

I wish I were old enough to put money in stocks but you have to be 18 and my parents don't think it's the best idea because stocks fluctuate so much. But if you are smart about it you can make big money without doing very much work. I think college age students should look more into it because I think it would be a great job. Because you are so busy with school work and it's hard to have a sold job that makes you good money and still do good in school. But even for older people it can be a great investment with little work. People of all ages need to look into it and research it so they know what they are doing, because it can be a dangerous trap.

  • While your topic is good, it had already been done. I think yoru summary is good but also a bit brief. Be sure to reply more frequently as well.

  • I personally don't know much about the stock market but I do know when they are up that is a good thing and you can make allot of money. As I get older and learn more about them I would most definetly invest in a growing buisness because I know you can make allot of money by investing in general. 

  • I think that the current rise in stocks is a good thing but you have to be careful because it will go down.  When I am old enough I do plan on putting money in stocks because although there is a chance I could loose money it is an easy way to possible make a lot of money just by putting it away.

  • I don't know very much about the stock market but I think it is pretty cool because one day you could be doing bad and then a year from then it could be doing ten times better. I think I will probably start to put money into stocks because at the moment it seems like it would be a very smart thing to do based on the rise.

    • I agree with you because I also think it is very facinating how the stock market can fluctuate so much and how you make a lot of money or loose money.  It is definantly a risk but it can end with a great reward if you do it right.

  • I will probably put money into stocks because I too want to own a square inch of Disney. I think the whole situation with GameStop will be a big game-changer to the stock industry. People have made millions of dollars of Game stock stocks and it's crazy that people can easily beat the system like that. I wish I was old enough to understand stocks more and maybe even put some money into GameStop. 

  • I also know very little about the stock market but I also have heard about the increase in price at a bunch of different stores that people have shopped at. I don't think that I would put money in the stock market with how it is because I believe that it will go down and I won't get money out of it.

  • I don't know a lot about stocks right now but it is something I would look at more in the future. I have heard a lot about the Gamestop and AMC stock. We talked a lot about these in buisness economics. I think it was crazy how the stocks all of a sudden went so high.

  • I know very little about the stock market however one thing I have heard over the last week was about the large jump in Gamestop and AMC stock price. I have also heard that many billionaires lost money due to the crazy rise in the stock market. When I'm eighteen years old I will definitely invest into the stock market and take my chances at making my millions.

  • I have never really been into stocks until the rise of the GameStop and AMC stock last week. Although I knew that stocks existed I never really know how they worked, but I've done some research since the rise of the GameStop and AMC stock, and have found stocks very interesting, so I think I may invest in stocks when I'm older.
