Day 10 - Help!
Hey everybody! this is Cheng. I am in the middle of English class right now. I need to go to art wing right now to talk to Mr. Dawson for the help. So I will keep you guys update later when I get the result. I also need to go to library to get NYT newspaper about companies news and other newspapers. See you guys later.
Day 9 - Drawing
I had drawn my first couple piece of images. It is coming out great. As previous day I was talking about using fake/imaginary money to invest in stock market as example to you guys. I have been buying and selling a lot of different stocks. News are really helping me. News on the paper could not be completely trustworthy, same as what other people tell you and company website. It takes a lot of thinking and researching. I will post my final poster with my investment on the side of images. Therefore, you guys will understand the concept of the whole investing process in stock market. Make a better living can not be taught in a poster, My poster will help you and start your thinking about the easy concept of the investment in both stock market and buying bonds from different countries.
To be continue!

Day 8 - Final decision
Today, I am roaming around internet. I watched a video about success from youtube. It was one of the video that my english teacher, Mr. Igoe, showed my class few weeks ago. Let me describe this video real quick. It is a person draw while he is talking about how to become successful basically. Ideas kept pop in my head. "This could be the future" I thought. Fact about me is that I love drawing but it is not my strong suit. Therefore, I thought I could of use some help from my last year drawing teacher, Mr. Dawson. I have not have the time to ask him since I am a athlete. I played Golf as a sport represent Lawrence Academy to competition in the golf match. We came in as a tie with Middlesex even though we beat them the first time. (It is all Hannah's fault: our #1 golfer.) Anyways back to the topic about the project. I will talk to Mr. Dawson tomorrow and figure out that if he could help me with my project in the drawing part. Oh, I forgot to mention that I will be doing drawing and writing on the side of each piece of the project to explain and tell you all what does the image mean from my view and why is it there.

Day 7 - Select Companies
classic investment - stable companies that everyone buy products from them daily
McDonald - it is a fast food company that have millions of chain fast food restaurants all over the world. In China during meal time, hundreds of people waitting in the line to get fast food from McDonald. KFC is another example of company that has stable stocks. Well, KFC is not doing quiet well as McDonald but they are two biggest fast food chain restaurants.

Day 6 - Research
News are very important for a person to invest. If you do not know what the world is going on, you will not be successful in your investment.
Stock Market - Stock market is a exchange of market.
Since last week, I have been paying attention in world stock market. Recently, Ukraine is a war with neighbor country Russia. War is a very cruel. Countries produce or buy weapons inside and outside the country. I would not invest in the company of Ukraine and Russia companies without war related. I would invest in the companies produce weapons. Best example is World War two, America was in the middle of the Great Depression. Franklin D. Roosevolt made the decision to go into WWII by providing weapons to both sides. United States' economy was back to normal after the WWII since America made a lot of money from other sides.
Also, I would invest in the companies around the globe. Mostly, I am willing to invest my money in the developing countries like India, China, and Philippine etc.

Day 5. - Model Invest in Stock Market
After having my mid-term presentation today, my classmate, John, gave me an idea to add on to my magazine about Business.
"You should invest in the stock market with fake money and show people what you can do in four weeks."- John
If you read my blog in Day 2, you would of see that i mention that my team at Cardigan won the 2nd place in the competition sponsored by Fidelity. We doubled the "money" that gave us.
Anyways, I will show you day by day and take you with me to make your life better.
First Step: Research about a few companies.
what are the companies you should look for? duh. Nobody know. if you know everything inside information about one company because your relatives work there, you are doing something illegal. (well, don't ever get caught. once you get caught, you will be in jail for a very lonnnnngggg time. Actually, just STOP! )
Research about a company is not very hard to do. First of all, you have to think one question. "what does everyone want?"

Day 4 - Ways of Investment
April 20th, 2014
I have not write my blog for a day and a half. My senior project is going better than I expected. I came up with more idea to add on my final spring project. I was thinking about doing a (formal) magazine for all adults to read to invest and make their lives at least a little bit better. Now, I came up with better idea. This series of paper would not called magazine because I am trying to let my readers to understand what I am trying to teach as easily as possible. My new idea is drawing a lot of cartoon characters represent different types of people in the society in real life and have conversation with each other to get out a solution to help them invest and live a better life. The conversation and ideas will come from real life workers who does not really get the idea of investment. I will do a survey outside the school and select random workers in different categories of jobs.
Survey Question:
1. Do you know what is investment?
2. What do you think about investment?
3. What is your income?
4. Did you ever invest? (Stock Market, Housing Market, Funds, Bonds, etc.)
I talked to my father on the phone last night about Investment. From previous blog, I warned you guys that higher income requires higher risk. Stock Market can make a person very wealthy or force a normal human being lose their mind and commit suicide. Millions and millions of dollars come in and out the accounts from all kinds people. every minutes, each one of the stocks goes up or down. A person can lose thousands even millions of dollar in a minutes as the price of the stock go down, even just a penny. Some people invested in companies that they have never heard before. They did it just because other people told them that this company is doing very well. I personally feel sympathy for those people because other people got it from other people. This is the power of rumor.
Ways of Invest
Stock Market
Penny Market
Money Exchange
Housing Market
Funds
Bonds
