# 1. Introduce the Stock Project

          All students in Economics and Governments class was given 100,000 dollars when we started the project. This project was started in August 29. 2013 and will be finished in October 25. 2013. Our goal of this project is to understand how we can buy and sell the stock, and through that activities, we may earn as many profit as we can. 

          Students can sell and buy stock when stock market is opened (3:30 p.m.. to 10:30 p.m. in local time(Slovakia)) and students can order the stock before the stock market opened and after it closed. When people order the stock before the market is opened, they can get the stock when the market is opened. When people order their stock after the market is closed, they can get their stock next day. 

          To make a lot of profit as many as we can, students need to read the news and get some information, and keep track of stock to decide when they can sell or buy some company's stock in appropriate time.
