Reflection Week with Helen, Jacob and Ben Talpey

Hi guys, It's Ben T. working on this reflection blog right here, and today I will be having my fellow teammates Jacob and Helen express their opinions and all. But first we gotta give you some info. Let's start with equity. Our average equity was 99,089.354. Our best equity was 100,171.28. Now I'm gonna fill you in on our rankings. Our average rank was about 57 out of 90, and our worst rank was 66. Our best rank was 41. The 41 didn't last so long. Now I'm gonna hand it over to Jacob (Not Ben T. impersonating Jacob), then Helen (Not Ben T. impersonating Helen), then back to myself. SO LET'S GO!!!
     Hi, Jacob here, and I'm going to talk about my opinion a little here. I think we did a good job but just didn't think about what we were going to buy. We kinda just bought something and hoped it would work. We would get distracted sometimes and that always had us lose focus.
     Hi it's Helen and I'm gonna tell you some of my opinion of Add Up & Make it Rain!! I think that the best part if SMG was getting to work on all this stuff but all virtually. There was never any stress, never any pressure, just fun SMG work.
     Hi guys, it's Ben Talpey again! I will do my opinion a little right here! The thing I think went well is probably the most basic but the most important part of all this. We had fun! I think that's really what it comes down to every Friday I would be like "YES!!! SMG day!!!" and I think that's what made it so special. And the worst part of SMG was probably when we got to the last day and found that we still had 4 more blogs to do.
     Well this is the last blog for our group! I hope you guys enjoyed the long journey to the top! And always remember-- Add Up, And Make It Rain!

Week 6 with Ms. Transaction Sheet, and Mr. Capybara


Ben Talpey doing SMG work
Hey guys, it's Ben Talpey!!! We are in distress as Helen has gone missing, maybe kidnapped by We're What Makes Money Green!! Or maybe we have a TRAITOR ON OUR HANDS!!!!! I've seen Helen taking basketball shooting form lessons from Grace, a member We're What Makes Money Green, before class. But yes, without Mrs. Transaction Sheet's presence, we are just managing. BUT WE CAN STILL GIVE HER HOMEWORK!!! On the contrary (Not really), we sold all of our stocks and put faith into "PLATE" and lost 2,000 dollars in ONE NIGHT.

Hi, Jacob here. We are soooooooo happy to have Helen back, as she does our transaction sheets. We have recently sold all our of our stocks but one, PLATE. We have recently discovered that some of our transaction sheets are incorrect, as commission was added when it should have been subtracted(It's ok Helen, we understand!) Overall, we are doing fine.
 Price of Oil
51.15 Up 1.94(3.94%)

Week 2 with Arnold Schwarzennegger, Waffle Man, Dull Horns

In the back, Drinking Mio, Ben Talpey. Left, with the "I CEH NAH!" face, Helen. And to the right, staring creepily at Helen's iPad, Jacob!!!

Hey guys, It's Ben here and today we are in BOLD!!! That's because we're swag! But we are looking into selling some stocks because our recent purchases in stocks have led to a positive return percentage of 0.17%!!!! That is great improvement from old us. We have decided to sell "Ronaldo." And Helen is doing AMAZING with the Trans. sheets. And right now gold is worth 1,156.20$!! And the DJI is going down. It is at 17,763.41 and went down 131.81!!! DOWN 74%!!!! But as of right now it looks like our time up, and I will SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!

Week 1 with Swagmaster, Shorty, & Heleaina

Left, Standing-Shorty. Right, Sitting- Swagmaster
Our Latest updated stock swag
Today we bought three stocks..."The Jungle" is one and "I'm Hungry" is the another. The last one is "KANGAROO!!" Now those aren't the real names but we can't reveal to any OTHER teams that aren't as swaggy as us. We worked on transaction sheets & buying three stocks today. We went BIG with high hopes for "I'm Hungry", buying 250 shares of it. Three days ago, we had a return % of 0.02, "in the red." Today we are out of the red and have a return percentage of a swaggy 0.30% more then what we bought for. Dull Horns made a mistake, as she put in the wrong date of purchase on a transaction sheet. And Shorty is trucking on through, completing many up-to-date stocks. We are looking into selling some stocks as well. Until tommorow, people. I will speak for my team... I'LL BE BACK!!!

The Long Journey to the Top


Helen, Jacob & Ben T. embark on an adventure to trade and sell stocks to rise to the top of the Cute Dogz class. We have recently claimed the title of the swaggiest group in our class. Our Rules: 1) No one buys or sells without confirmation. 2) Try and keep a cool head, but if can't communicate what you are thinking. 3) Weigh your options by your budget. And our Goals: 1) Reach Top 50. 2) Always have a budget 9,800 or more. Have an equity of 98,000 or more. And 4) Always be swag and remember 98 is the best number.
