Investment Project Blog Post: What I learned

Since this project, I definitely know a lot more about investing than I did before. Before this project I knew that you could invest in both banks and company, but I didn't realize how much more beneficial it would be to invest in a company. I always thought that investing in a bank would be the better, smarter, and safer choice. After seeing the difference though, I can see how sometimes a little risk can go a long way. I understand how some people may be hesitant to take the risk of investing in a company, but I believe with enough research on a company, good judgement, and sheer luck, your investment will explode in an exponential growth. My experience from doing this project is that, having investment means a lot more than it looks. Basically learning all the terms and the best technique to financially increase your money, is hard work. When first starting this project I had a minor freak out, as I'm sure many other students did. I knew the general idea of investment but I didn't realize how complicated it sometimes was, finding a good company or bank and all that. It made me appreciate the adults in my life, who are doing all the bills and stuff, a whole lot more. The idea of investing in something is still bouncing around in my head, but I'm not quite sure I'm ready to deal with money just yet. I am sure, though, that from doing this project I will be a bit more prepared, for when the time does come, to start investing money.
