Stock Market : Final Report
You can't make money in the stock market without going out on a limb and investing in it. Once you put your money in, you have no control over how much you gain or lose. I find this exciting, because you could invest twenty-five cents and make twenty-five thousand dollars, or invest twenty-five thousand dollars and make twenty-five cents. The stock market is an unpredictable roller coaster ride that can bring you up, and take you down in a matter of minutes. Every Friday in Mrs. Harte's 7th grade math class we watched and recorded the patterns of the stocks of our choice. We did not invest any real money, but it was very interesting to find out which stocks did well, and which did horribly. After twenty-four weeks of watching, I finally made up my mind about the stock market.
Sometimes taking a risk can lead you to something good, and sometimes it can get you into a lot of trouble. In the stock market, you have to know your facts, and trust your gut about the stocks you nvest in. The stocks I chose to 'invest' in were McDonalds, Royal Caribbean Cruises, and Nike. I picked McDonalds because I knew how popular the chain was around the world. I also realized that the cheaper, the better, and McDonalds has a pretty big dollar menu that is fast and easy. Investing in Royal Caribbean was the most exciting because I wasn't sure how well it would do. I thought cruises would become more popular in the winter, with people trying to get away from the harsh cold weather. Nike was my favorite stock out of the three I picked. Nike is a widely popular company known all around the world. thought that since the stock costed the most, that it would do well. I had trust in it to do well. Out of the millions of stocks in the market, choosing was definitely a hard process, but it is also one of the most important step in making, or losing money.
I chose the stocks I did before I knew much about the market. And though I have no regrets, I could have done better by making changes in the stocks I 'invested' in. I didn't exactly look for any companies that I didn't know, and now I wish I had. Weyerhaeuser is a company that I had no idea existed until a friend of mine had made an exceeding amount of money with this stock. I would like to change from McDonalds to this stock because I would have liked to learn about a company, while still making money! Another stock I would like to change to would be from Nike to Apple. Apple is another fairly popular company that is known for it's technology services and devices. This stock scared me away because of its high price. I would have lied to look past the price and see the fact that it was doing very well. If I had seen the historical prices, I would have invested in it and made more money than I did. I am happy with my Choice if Royal Caribbean because it made the most money, and I loved the fact I got to actually learn about a Cruise line! It was very interesting, and I was happy with the amount of money I made with this stock. Wishing you invested in a company that did better than the one you chose is always hard, but you gain
knowledge from your mistakes.
Going into the stock market with no idea how it works is not a good idea at all. With a little advise from an expert, and a little research can make all the difference. It is quick and easy to check the historical prices, and though the stock market is unpredictable, if it has a history of horrible prices, it is probably not a good idea to choose that particular stock. It is also a good thing to know at least the basic information about your stocks before actually investing in them. Research is easy to do, but it is also easy to get false information on bad web sites. Make sure when researching that you trust the website, and know it is real facts. Investing a little at a time is a good thing to do when you are just beginning in the stock market because you can't lose any more than you invest, and if you only invest a tiny bit, you only lose a tiny bit. You can always buy more stocks, so you don't have to rush into it by buying all you can the first day. A little piece of advise can help you go a long way. With this stock project, I have learned many things that I would have to find out later on in life. Now I have all the information I need to invest in stocks. I believe with the knowledge I have now of the stock market that I would have a better chance at success later on in life. What I take away from this unit is the fact that you don't control how well your stacks do, but what you can control is what you invest in, and how much you invest in it.

My math class started stocks in november and we picked stacks and sold them at the end so this is about it.
I picked these stocks because I herd form the 8th graders which stocks are good the said Sirius radio was good. Then I wanted to have a soda stock so I found jones soda it looked like it was doing good so in got it. Then I needed to finish off the money so I got google.
What I would change with my stocks. I would get ¾ of Sirius radio because it got me lots of money . I would get 1/8 of the jones soda stock because it did good for a bit and then went down.i would get 1/8 of google because it was doing good for a little bit and then bombed down a lot.
Some advice that I would give to another person would be. The sirius radio stock is very good it makes money and the best part its cheap. The jones soda can make money if you sell it early it is cheap everyone needs a drink and who does not like soda. Google is expensive it make little or no money don't get it.
Those are my stocks I picked and some advice for you so you can pick the stocks responsibly I hope you enjoyed it .

Stock Market Report
For the past couple of months, the seventh grade has been working with stocks. Each student picked three stocks of their choice, and monitored and kept track of how they have been doing.
I chose Apple inc., Randgold Resources , and GO INDUSTRY DOVE BID for my companies because they all seemed like trustworthy stable companies that could possibly make a lot of money for me. I chose Apple inc. because it has a good reputation, it is always coming out with new jaw dropping technologies, and is overall a top selling company that never fails. The second company I chose was Randgold Resources. I chose this company because it sells gold, and gold is usually high-selling and worth a lot of money. The third and final company that I chose was GO INDUSTRY DOVE BID. The reason why I chose this company was because when I checked the sales chart, it was going up at a steady pace.
Even though all of my companies sounded good, I still would change some things. The first thing that I would change would be that I should have bought more shares in GO INDUSTRY DOVE BID. Go INDUSTRY DOVE BID made a lot of money as it climbed the charts. The second thing I would have to change would be to buy more shares in Apple Inc. because it was a good money maker and never had any dips in the rankings. The third thing I would have to change would be to buy less stocks of Randgold Resources, it didn't really make as much money as I was hoping it would and to go with that statement, the prices lowered/dropped.
The advice that I would give to other people who are interested in investing in stock would be to always read the stock's summary. You should always make sure that you know your business. Make sure it is not a scam and understand what it is selling before you buy. You want to know what your stocks are about so you know what you're investing in. Secondly, you always want to make sure that you are checking up on your stocks daily to see how they are doing. And thirdly, make sure your company makes good money and is not a loser.
From all of this I can conclude that the seventh grade has learned much about the stock market and I, personally, am intrigued with this business of money. I am also glad that I had this opportunity to see a little but of how my nation runs.

Final Stock Project Report
Annie Fitzpatrick
Investing in stocks is a great way to make money if you are a smart investor. You have to do plenty of research to choose the right stocks. This year in math class we had to do a project on stocks. We pretended that we had invested in three stocks and then tracked them every week. Every Friday we got our computers out and went to www.yahoofinance.com
to check Thursday's last trade. After 24 weeks we made a final project on this unit. This essay will explain to you the three stocks I invested in and how they did. The three companies that I invested in were Hershey's, Nike and Disney. Over all these three companies did relatively well apart from Nike, which went down 2.13 dollars. Hershey's went up the most. I made 654 dollars with this company. Walt Disney went up almost 5 dollars and I made 401.60 dollars with this company.
There isn't a lot that I would change about my stocks but there are a few things I would have done differently. I would have sold Nike sooner if I could have because it went up and then dropped dramatically. I would have bought more of Hershey's and less of Disney because this stock did better than Disney. I made almost 1000 dollars so over all I am pretty happy with my stocks
I learned a lot during this project. I really didn't know anything thing about stocks and investing before. If I had to give advice to other people investing in stocks I would say make sure you don't lose you stock portfolio and keep track of your gains and losses like we did. Our spreadsheets were very helpful because we formatted them to calculate our gains and losses each week. I would also say to invest in stocks that are going up and sell them at their peek.
This project started in November and ended in May. On average during that time I made money with Nike, Disney, and Hershey's. If I were to do this again I would Sell Nike earlier but we weren't allowed to. With Hershey's I made money. I think this is because we had this project during Christmas, Valentines Day, and Easter when people buy a lot of chocolate. Nike went down but I don't know why and Disney went up because we had this project during February and April Vacation when people go to Disney World. Over all I enjoyed doing this project and tracking my Stocks.

When you think about stocks and the stock market it comes across as boring and an unengaging topic of the business world. The stock market is actually the complete opposite. It's an exciting place where people gamble with luck as well as skill on growing and prospering companies. I have invested in a few stocks, Yamana Gold, Silver Wheaton and Penney Company during an experiment with the lively and ever changing stock market.
I decided to invest in Yamana Gold, Silver Wheaton Company and J.C Penney because I believed they would show the most results and profit throughout the stock market unit. Yamana Gold is a well known mining, extracting and gold processor. I decided to invest over two hundred shares in this stock because it was at a low point and I believed that the gold market was going to increase. I observed that the gold market or gold company market fluctuates frequently from the stocks charts. Since the company I was interested in was in a low I knew it had to increase at some point. My dad recommended I invest in a silver company stock because the silver market was picking up. I invested in this stock as it was increasing. I chose Silver Wheaton Company because the stock had been increasing steadily over the past weeks so I thought it would be a solid long-term stock. I invested in J.C. Penney because the department stores are known to gain money in their stocks over the Holidays and on spring sales. Also this market doesn't fluctuate as much as the other mineral companies and it provides balance in my stocks. I felt that these companies would produce a large profit over the twenty-four weeks I owned them.
After completing this project I would've invested a little differently, if I could do it all over again I would've changed where I invested my money and when I invested. First, I would've changed how much and when I invested. It's very important to invest when a company is having a low. The problem is not all of my companies had a low at the same time. When the market is falling it's called a bear market. When the market is rising it's called a bull market. The best time to buy is when the market looks like it's going from a bear market to a bull market. If I had bought my stocks in between this change I would have made a greater profit. The second thing I would change would be to invest less in two of my stocks and more in one of them. I would invest less in Yamana Gold because it was a steady stock but it didn't get me as large profit that I though it would've. I also would've invested less in J.C. Penney because this stock didn't always profit, it had a few weeks of loss. I would've liked to invest more in Silver Wheaton because it made me the greatest profit out of all my stocks. This stock was a risk because I know it could've profited or lost my money, but I knew it would rise and profit. If I had taken more of a chance on it I could've made a lot more money. I'm glad I had the chance to experiment with stocks, but after doing this experiment there are some things I would've done a lot differently.
I would tell future investors to research the stocks their interested in, as well stocks that have a reason for profit. Researching stocks is the most important part of investing. It's important to look at how the stocks have done over the last weeks and think about how they will do over the weeks that you will own them. You may think a stock is good just by the profit their makings currently, if that's true, don't invest in it when it's having a peak. You will see more results when the stock is bought at a low rather than a high. It's also important to use your best judgment. Even if you just found your favorite clothing or toy brand, you still have to check if the stock has done well lately and if it's well known. If an inexpensive stock is predicted to make a lot of money you may want to invest in it. You may be in for the best profits. It's important to learn what others have to say, but when it comes down to your money follow your instincts.
I hope my experience has taught you about the stock market. That even though it seems to be a place in some big city that only business men work in, you can be a part of it too. The stock market and the thousands of stocks in it are always open for you to invest in if you'd like. Yamana Gold, Silver Wheaton and Penney Company were great choices for me I hope you can be just as fortunate with stocks as I was. Always remember, the stock market is a roller coaster, you're just along for the ride.

Stock Market Final Report
In the wild world of stocks, there are many ups and downs. I learned about the Bear and Bull market. I now know what a stock Broker. I was educated about NYSE, NASDAQ, and DJIA. I learned that Wall street is where stock exchange and major banks are situated.
For my stock project I chose Caterpillar, AT&T, and Hennes & Mauritz. The stock that did the best out of the stocks I invested in was Caterpillar. I picked it because I know what it does and I was familiar with the company. I also looked at the graph that showed the prices in the last year, and it seemed like it was going up. I also chose AT&T because it is my family's phone company, so that means that I know about it. They also made a better version of the iPhone which was already the most common phone. I didn't know anything about Hennes & Maritza, but my friends dad works with stocks and said it would do well in the future. My stock market project did pretty well for me.
Now that I've watched the stock market I would make a few changes. I would change my Hennes & Mauritz stock to Netflix. I now know that Netflix has done very well and Hennes & Mauritz didn't do nearly as well as Netflix. I also would change my AT&T stock to Apple. I found out that apple has done tremendous in the stock market, unlike AT&T. I definitely wouldn't change my Caterpillar stock because I made over 1,000 dollars alone in this stock. But I might have had more shares in Caterpillar. Other than those changes I would keep my stocks just how it is.
The advice that I would give to someone that was interested in stocks would help them in making money. The first thing they should do in investing in stocks is to know the company. They should know the company so that they have a good idea what they do and if they do well in making money. You also should do research on the stock. You should look at the graphs that shows how it's done in the past. This advice would help you in making money in the stock market.
This stock project was helpful in learning about stocks. I had had good reasons to buy those certain stock. I'm happy I invested in Caterpillar, AT&T, and Hennes & Mauritz. They all made money but some more than others. This stock project has been extremely educational and will help me if I ever invest for real in the stock market.

Stock Market Essay
The stock market it a confusing, risky, exciting place. Luck, skill, and strategy are all great ways to succeed in this risky business. This essay will give you the advice from previous experience that you need to be able to achieve success.
The companies I selected were F5 Networks, SPDR Gold Shares, and Apple, and I chose them for many different reasons. I picked F5 Networks because my dad works for that company. When I bought the stock, it was doing very well at the time. F5 helps technology run faster, and I hate slow electronics, so I decided to invest in it. I decided to invest in SPDR Gold Shares because I needed one more company to invest in, and this one looked very consistent. Though I didn't know much about this company, when I looked at the yearly graph, it averaged very well, and didn't look risky, so I decided to invest in it. I bought Apple because I have Apple computers, phones, and other electronics at my house, and I think they work very well. Apple is a fairly new company, but I think it's popularity was starting to grow, so it would have higher sales. For each of the companies, the reasons I invested in them differed completely.
Now that I've watched my stocks rise and fall, I have a few changes that I would make to my strategy. One thing I would've done is sell my stocks earlier. When I bought my stocks, they were all at a fairly low price for their average. Around January, they all shot up extremely high, which brought me in a huge profit. If I had the choice, I would've definitely sold them earlier because after January, all of my stocks dropped considerably. Another thing I would've done differently is buy less shares of one company. If I could go back in time, I would've evened out all my shares. I ended up investing a large part of my money in one company, which didn't end up helping me. Some of the companies I invested less in did better, so my total amount of money was much less than what it could have been. The last thing I would've done was take more time to select my stocks. As we didn't have much time to choose one, I chose some of them rather quickly, instead of taking the time I should have to look at them more closely. If I had of done this, maybe my choices would have been better supporting of my financial state.
Seeing how the stock market works for a good amount of time now, there are a few things I would recommend, and a few tips I have on how it works. Something I would recommend doing is evening out your shares. This way, if one of your stocks fails to please you, you don't have all of your money riding on that one stock. It is also a good idea to have a variety of companies to invest in. For example, if you invest in all seafood companies and suddenly all of the ocean life dies, you have a problem. If you have a broad horizon of companies, if one type of product isn't selling for some reason, you don't have to worry as much. The last thing I would recommend doing is to research your stocks. Before you buy a company, research it's history and recent stock patterns. This way, you have a fairly good idea on what your putting your money into.
Hopefully, as you read this, you've begun to understand how difficult and deceiving the stock market can really be. Now that you have an idea how this topsy – turvy thing works, you can begin your own adventure into the stock market. Remember, though tips and strategy can help you suceed, you never really know how well a stock is going to do, so good luck with taking the risk that many regret, and some consider the greatest decision of their life.

Have you ever wondered about how the stock market works? Well, in these next few paragraphs I will be telling you about all the little secrets of the stock market. Over the last few months, I have been examining the stock market and have become an expert on it. I will also tell you about how to choose the right stocks that will make you the most money. Now I am about to tell you from my own experience, how to become a stock market expert.
These are the companies that I chose for my portfolio and why I chose them. The first company that I chose is Home Depot. I chose this company because it is a nation company and it has struggled in the past so it was time for it to bounce back. The second company that I chose is Walt Disney. I chose this company because it is a world-wide tourist attraction, it makes billions of dollars a year, and it always has business year-round. The last company that I chose was United States Natural Gas. I chose this company because the shares were cheap and the profit was increasing. These are the companies that I chose and why I chose them.
This is what I would have changed in my investment if I had a second chance at this. I would want to find out more about the companies, what they do, what their history is, etc. I would also like to find out how and when the company became public. Another thing that I would change is to get more shares in the company that I trust the most. Once I found out more about the company, I would choose the company I trusted most and use most of my money their. I wouldn't get as many shares on the "wild-card" company. The last thing I would change is selling my stops at the right time. If my stocks were rising, once I thought that the profit was at the highest peak, I would sell my stocks to get the most money possible. These are the changes I would make if I got a second chance.
This is the advice that I would give to people who are investing in the stock market. My first advice would be to learn about your companies. Find some back-round information about the company and make sure you are 100% sure that you trust that this company will make you money. The second piece of advice that I would give to people is to manage your stocks. Make sure that you are checking in on your stocks frequently so you can stay updated on what is happening. Putting it on a spreadsheet would help keep all your information organized. The last advice that I would give to people is to sell your stocks at appropriate time. This way you will make the most money possible and you will be very happy about your decisions.
In the last few paragraphs I told you about all of the little secrets of becoming a stock market expert. I gave you advice on how to choose the right stocks, how to know whether you can trust your stock or not, and when to sell your stock so you can make the most money possible. I have already gone through this whole process so I feel that I gave plenty of information about the stock market. This is my reflection on my stock project and I hope that I helped you become more knowledgeable about the stock market.

In math class, we were given ten thousand dollars to invest into stocks. We could only choose stocks from the NYSE or NASDAQ. Many of my friends picked familiar stocks such as Apple, Wal-Mart, and Google. That is exactly why I chose different stocks than everyone else. The stocks that I invested in were Amazon.com, Southern Copper, and Hallmark. In the following paragraphs, you will learn about why I picked those stocks, what I would have done differently to them, and advice that I would give to people about buying stocks.
The companies that I invested in were Amazon.com, Southern Copper, and Hallmark. I picked these stocks mostly because my dad had invested in all of them and told me that they were all rising. I picked the stock Hallmark because it was on the bullish list, which meant it was predicted to rise dramatically. I also picked Amazon because I thought ahead for the holidays, which meant that a lot of things were going to be sold. These are the reasons why I invested in these companies
Every stock was different, so I would change different things to the different stocks. For the stock Amazon, I could have invested more into this stock because it rose $40 from its original price. For the stock Southern Copper, I would keep it the same because it was rising but kept losing prices as well. I should of invested less in the Hallmark stock because it went down two dollars. These are the changes that could of been made.
The advice that I would give to people who are about to buy stocks are listen to the bullish are bearish reports, think about upcoming holidays, and penny stocks. You would want to listen to bullish and bearish reports because they are almost always right. Upcoming holidays are big times for businesses with selling products, so try and buy them when Christmas or Easter is near. The last one is never buy penny stocks because more than likely they will never raise in price. This is the advice that I would give to the people who are about to buy stocks.
Now that I know all this information, I will know what to invest in if I ever were to invest in a stock. The information for bullish and bearish stocks are very important to know, and holidays are a great way to gain money from a stock. I feel that I know a lot more than I did before about stocks, actually I never knew about stocks. This project has taught me a lot about this subject. I hope that in the future this project will be something very useful in life.

Final Stock Report
Thanks to the investments in the stock market we have done in school, I have learned a lot about the stock market. This information is critical to be successful in life, and is very useful if you know what you are doing. If you do not do some research before investing though, you may cost yourself a lot of money.
You must be incredibly careful when picking stocks, and you must know how they work. When I made my investments, I tried to make careful choices on what stocks to invest in and make sure I can know whether the stock is a bull, or a bear (going up or down). I made investments in three stocks: Apple, Google, and Nike. I invested in Apple because the share value was high, I could see and predict patterns in the rise and falls in the price, it was releasing new popular products soon, and because the company had high product quality. I invested in Google mainly because it had a high share value, and it is probably the most used search engine in the world. I invested in Nike because they are a popular brand of running shoes and because the shares were cheap and I was almost out of spending money. These were the stocks I would be investing in for a couple months.
After further observation of the market, there are some changes I would make to my investment decisions. If I were to change my stock decisions, I would not invest in Google or Nike. Google was a unpredictable and incredibly expensive stock, and in the end, cost me a lot of money. Nike was also hard to predict, and any rises in price were not rewarding enough to make up for recent drops. Instead of investing in these stocks, I would invest even more in Apple. Apple was a predictable and well priced stock that has been rising in price over the past couple years. Since its products are of high quality, it could be expected to do well.
It is crucial to know how a stock works and when value may go up or down. When you have invested in a stock, watch the news. Certain events may affect the price of your stock (for instance, a new product release, problems at a manufacturing plant, etc.). Also, be sure you know how your stock works. Look for patterns in rises and drops and try to predict good times to sell or buy. Remember not to take large risks if they are worth the risk and if there is a good chance of rewards. Jumping headfirst into a risk may cost you lots of money, and a risk that is much more dangerous than it is rewarding is probably not worth it.
Now knowing all of this information, I feel confident with investing in stocks in the future. This was a very important lesson, and I am sure this will pay off someday.

For my math project, I invested in four stocks. These stocks were Google, Apple, Aeropostale and Abercrombie and Fitch. I decided to invest in these companies for a varitety of reasons. I picked Google because I knew that a lot of people use it and that it was usually a very successful stock. The reason that I picked Apple was that I knew that it was a popular company and that it made a lot of money. For Aeropostale, I heard that it was a good stock to invest in and for Abercrombie and Fitch, I thought it was in the same type of company as Aeropostale so, I decided to invest in that too and see how it turned out. Some were more successful than others but, I still made some money on them.
Now that I've seen the successful and not so successful stocks, I wish that I had changed some of the things I had invested in. I wish that I hadn't bought Google because it went way down since I bought it. I also wish that I hadn't bought so many shares of Aeropostale because that went down too. Instead of buying Google, I wish that I bought more shares of Apple because I originally bought 11 shares of it and earned $733.59.
There are many strategies to earn a lot of money in the stock market. Some good advice is that the sometimes cheaper stocks can earn you a lot of money, especially if you buy a lot of shares from them. For example, if you buy 1000 shares of a stock and it goes up 1 cent and you sell all your shares, you earn $10. Also, sometimes the more expensive stocks earn a lot of money. Apple was an expensive stock but, I made a lot of money from it. This was a very fun and interesting project!

The company stocks I picked in my math class were Wal-Mart, Apple, and Sears Holding Company. I picked Wal-Mart because the stores are all over the place. They're convenient to most people and a lot of people take advantage of that and use those stores. I also chose Apple because I like their products and I know a lot of other people like them too. They come out with more complex versions of things they make and many people but them. They're also a well known brand. Last, I chose Sears Holding Company because I heard it was doing good and I see the stores full sometimes.

NHKÆ's Surprising Stocks
For my math stock market project in math class, I chose Apple, TJ Max, and Ebay. We had to follow our stocks for 24 weeks. I picked Apple (APPL) because my dad invested in that company for real and because Apple seems like they are very popular and always comes up with new technology and new products involving touch screens. I picked Ebay because I always check the website for items I would like to have and it seems like it is a very popular site, but it not do very well. I also chose TJ Max because I had know idea what else to pick so I went with one of the stocks that the teacher bought.
I would have changed a lot of my portfolio now that I have more information on stock. I would have bought more shares of apple so I could make some more money because you times the number of shares you bought by the price of one share. I would have changed TJ Max into something I picked for myself and not go with what the teacher picked. I would have picked Panara Bread or Royal Caribbean cruise lines. I would have not gotten Ebay because it did not do very well.
If I could go back to the beginning of this project and I was more serious about it than I am now, before I plan to pick my favorites, I would have researched more on the companies and made sure that they were reliable. I also would have tried to get closer to the metaphorical 1.250.000 Isk ($10,0000) by buying more shares of Apple so maby I could have made more money that way.

PSJA's Jumpy Stocks
The stocks I picked were, Sony (SNE), Adobe Systems Inc. (ADBE), and Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO). I picked SNE because it was well known, on the upward trend, makes a lot of products, and I just like technology. ADBE I bought because it used by a lot of people and I thought it would go up but I was wrong. YHOO I picked because I thought it would be kind of funny since we were using Yahoo! finance.
Some thing I wish I could have changed were... SNE was my best stock because it was constantly bullish until the very end and I wish I had invested more stock in it. I also wish I had bought Pier 1 Imports instead of ADBE because ADBE bearish the whole time. YHOO I don't really feel like changing anything about it except maybe investing less in that and use more money on SNE.
Some advice i would give to other investors is... When you are buying do your research and pick stocks that have been steady or going upward for the past couple weeks. Don't look at the 52wk range because it may have been going up gradually but might be on the downward trend when you buy it. When you buy a seasonal stock don't keep it too long because it will probably go down when that season is over. Don't keep your stocks to long; the first time it goes up and makes you a lot, sell, because when people get too greedy and want to keep waiting they can lose a lot of money when it goes down.

The companies I picked for my stock project in math were Google, Apple, and eBay.
I chose Google because people Google everyday, and there are millions of companies that advertise to every search. I chose Apple because the keep coming out with new stuff, and people keep buying it.
I chose eBay because I have found things on eBay like my green saxophone, and people can just put their unwanted stuff on it and sell it.
My stocks would go down when the Dow Jones was down, but then they would go up, and stay up. I think that instead of having some stocks of eBay, I should have bought a lot of penny stocks, because some people in my class have gotten a lot of money when the stocks go up by just a little. I could have researched my stocks more, like someone looked up which stocks would go up in the next year.
If you are really serious about this project and want to earn "money", then you should research stocks before you buy them. But if you don't really care about what happens with your fake money, then just go with your favorite companies, or where you like to go, or buy things from.

In math class, the companies stocks' I purchased were Apple (AAPL), Home Depot (HD), and Wal-mart (WMT) each for several reasons. When we were viewing stocks to choose which one we wanted to buy, the first one that appealed to me was Apple. I not only had heard of Apple, but I own some of their products. In addition, it was just about the holiday season and I knew that they were creating a new product which probably would sell during this time of year. Also, many people have or would like to have their merchandise, which is expensive but extremely popular. Home Depot caught my attention because in their history, they had risen up at a good pace. They have great products and they're very popular. So I thought they'd make a lot of money this year. The last stock I purchased was Wal-mart. I knew that Wal-mart was visited a lot by customers, and greatly appreciated as a store. Also, their stores are all around the USA, so I thought they would make a lot of money this year because they are so liked by people. I think that I made pretty good choices in stocks by purchasing Apple, Home Depot, and Wal-mart.
There is a lot that I would change about the stocks I purchased because they either rose or fell drastically. For Apple, I would probably add more stocks. This is because they increased by a surprising $68.00 over the course of 24 weeks of following them. Even though Apple is expensive stock to buy, I would purchase more because in the long run I'd end up making more money then I'd spend on it, which is the point of stocks. Home Depot also did well this year so I would buy more of their stocks. My reasons for buying more are that they have done well. However, they have not increased as much as I'd like them to have, they still increased. Since they didn't increase that much, I would buy thousands and thousands of their stocks, so I would really be making more money. Wal-mart, on the other hand, didn't do too well and I wish I had bought less. Even though I only lost $35.00 total on this stock, it just isn't worth losing any money, so I would definitely purchase less.
I have some advice that I hope will help others looking to buy stocks for the first time. I would tell them to buy many stocks that have done well over the course of about five years or so. I would recommend to look at the history of their stock to see if it has done well over tough times in the stock market. Also you should research stocks. This is to see how long the stock has been around. You don't want a stock that just came out into the market because it could be unreliable and even have to close because it wouldn't make much money. Finally, I think that you should check your stocks as much as possible. This would be so you could know if your stocks were losing you money, or gaining you money. If you gain a lot over about one month, don't just sell it because it usually gets higher. I would suggest keeping your stocks for at least one year. Although, if you are losing a ton of money, sell it right away. This is because chances are, it will probably drop even more after the next few months, or even weeks! I hope this advice would help others thinking about buying stocks for the first time.

Stocks that Rock
How to Find Them
This year we had a project where we are supposed to choose a few stocks to invest in and follow. I spent the night before we choose our stocks researching and found some very good stocks. The next day I realized that I had to choose stocks that were in Nasdaq or the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and none of mine were in either. I quickly found some random stocks that I knew or thought were interesting they were Sear Holding Company, Dell Co., and Activision Blizzard. I choose Activision Blizzard because it was the first stock that was mildly familiar to me on the list. The next stock I choose was Dell, because I have a Dell computer and my parents had dell computers. I also knew that Apple was going to make it fall soon and you have to go up before you go down, right? My final company was Sears Holding Company. I choose this company because I had heard of it before, but wanted to know what a holding company is. The other reason was because I had heard of a Sears Tower that is very big so I assumed that if they could afford to build something like that, then they would be a good company to invest in.
Now that we have finished this project there are a few things I would have done differently. Both Dell and Activision Blizzard didn't end up doing very well. If I had known that this would happen then I wouldn't have invested in them. On the other hand, Sears Holding Co. absolutely skyrocketed. If I had known this I would have invest most, maybe all of my money in it. The one other thing I would have changed would have probably been that I would make sure that the stocks I researched were in the Dow or Nasdaq. I wasted a lot of time on stocks that I couldn't use.
There are a few things that you need to remember when investing. Firstly, always make sure that you are following all the rules and are doing what you are supposed to, If you break a rule you may have to pay a fine or forfeit whatever stock you bought without a refund. Second, Don't despair if your stock drops, it should come back up eventually. If you sell to fast you may lose opportunities to gain more money. Finally, always get at least one steady stock to balance out any flukes. If you make a bad investment and lose a lot of money you will still have that steady gainer to make up for your loses.

Stock Market
The stock market purchases I bought was Gamestop, Wal-Mart, and Nike inc. I picked Gamestop because lots of people shop there especially when its near Christmas because parents might buy their kids video games or something. They also sell new video games so people can get a brand new video game their. The reason I bought Wal-mart is because lots of people shop their. There's lots to buy there you can buy food or toys or movies and many other things. I also bought Nike inc because its a good shoe store and lots of people go to buy shoes there. They have a big selection if shoes that are comfortable and they also don't break easily.
There are some changes I would make with my stocks. I would see Gamestop because I am not gaining much money on it and I also sometimes start losing money. I would also buy more of Nike inc because I gain 77 dollars a week and I have 63 stocks so I gain a total of 880 dollars. I would also invest in Apple because it makes a lot of money because of their new products.
Here is my advice for people who are going to buy stocks. First I would check to see what stocks are doing good. See if the stocks have been losing money and if they have how often have they been losing money if they have been losing money all the time or a lot then I would not recommend purchasing those stocks. If your stocks start doing bad I would sell them so you don't loss too much more money.

Stock Market
For a Math Project, we each were given $10,000 to spend on stocks. I invested in Apple Inc., Aeropostale Inc., and The Cheesecake Factory Inc.. I invested in them for many reasons that I thought would make me a good profit.. I invested in Apple because it was near Christmas, and I knew that the Christmas before, iPods had been popular gifts. I figured that with the new iPhone and iTouch recently out, it would be a huge hit. I was partly right, but that big boost would come later. In the end, the stock was almost $67 dollars higher from when I bought it! I made $1,771.38 off of them. I invested in Aeropostale because I knew it was a really up-and-coming business and Christmas time would make it do well. The quality of their products is great, and it's very popular. It didn't do as well as I thought, but it went down and up. Eventually, I lost $206.48 off of them..The Cheesecake Factory was the most reliable stock I bought. It was $19.09 when I bought it, and $27.17 when I sold it. I invested in them because it's a nice business with friendly workers, and for many cheesecake is a holiday item. I was right. Also, they have not so bad prices, and may be considered a "special place" to go out to eat, so the holidays would make it busy. I made $824.16 from their stocks.
There are some things I would have changed for the better. I would not have gotten any Aeropostale stocks because I lost money off of them. I'm not sure what I would've gotten instead, but I would've spent more money on the Cheesecake Factory. The Cheesecake Factory did so well, I made $824.16. It wasn't as good as Apple, but it was stressful wondering if I would win or lose. I was lucky when I sold my Apple stock, but for many it was not a good situation. It was unreliable, having a low low and a high high. It was far too unpredictable for my liking.
If you are intrested in buying my stocks, here's my advice. Don't buy Aeropostale. It wasn't a very good investment. I don't know what happened, but it had a low that it didn't recover from. Buy Cheesecake Factory. It was very reliable, and I'm glad I chose it. It didn't make as much as Apple, but that's ok. If you're a gambling kind of person, you might want to buy Apple. But if you like to play it safe, don't buy it. You might want to invest in it when it's at a low, and sell it after a new product comes out. New products are really the reason the stocks go up so high. That's probably the best case scenario.
The stock market project was really fun! It was great to learn about the stocks; I never really understood it until we started the unit. I would suggest "investing"in stocks for fun to learn more about it. It's fun to predict why something will drop in price or climb up in price. Happy investing!

Stock Up on Cash!
Big tips that could save you millions
By the 24th week of our stock market project, many of our stocks took turns that would have caused us to pick differently. I would not invest in KO, because almost the exact time that i bought it it lost me over $1,000. I would change it to a Panera stock because that was a great stock that rose about $25. I would also buy more SBUX, because that made me over $1,000. And i would change DIS to a penny stock because if i had 2 other good stocks, then even if i had a bad penny stock I would still be making money--and with a good penny stock i could make over $3,000 (total money).
I may not be an expert, but I can give you some good advice on investing in stocks. First of all, you should definitely research the stocks you want to invest in, and ask other people with experience. Also, only invest in companies that you're familiar with because those are most likely more popular, and because you have a better indication of stock quality with companies you know. You should research the historical prices of your stocks, because that will show whether your stocks will keep gaining or losing money. And lastly, you should check in on your stocks often. If you don't, then a stock could take an unexpected turn, and you could lose a lot of money that you could have saved by selling it. But in the end, a penny saved is more than a penny earned—hopefully.

Stock Market Summary
I invested in three different companies in the stock market hoping to make a fair profit. My first company is Isis Pharmaceuticals, I chose this company because it was in health care and healthcare is becoming more important daily and it was a market mover. My second company is Coca Cola bottling company, I invested in Coke because it is a very large, stable and fast growing company. My third company is Pepsi company, I chose Pepsi because it is a quickly growing company that is very stable. Those are the reasons I chose to invest in those companies.
My stock stock portfolio was good but could be improved and made perfect. My first company Isis Pharmaceuticals was not very stable but I recovered most of my money but lost $2.73 I would have not invested in it. My second company Pepsi co. it was a very good investment I would have invested all my money in it if I had the choice. My third company was an okay investment I made a good amount but I wish I could have sold it earlier because it was three dollars higher. Over all I made a great profit but I could have made more.
I have a good amount of advice about buying, selling and the amount of shares for your stocks. My advise about buying a stock is look at the previous prices of the stock, and do your research. My advice about the amount of shares to buy is the more stable the company is the more shares you buy. My Advice for selling is do the math see how much money you are making and if you are making a lot sell. That's my advice for working with stocks I may be young but that's a lot of advice.

Many super markets and pharmacies are expanding and growing. The demand for gold and copper is at a very high/sell rate. The demand for more supermarkets is growing because the rise in population. Rite aid and target are expanding because of the trust and quality of these large chains. I think these companies are growing because they are made to buy groceries yet they have smaller markets on the inside of the store. You will find pizza huts and Starbucks inside for your convenience, which is a reason someone would rather go to a plain old supermarkets. Rite is growing because rather than having a store with an added pharmacy you can find a store filled with specialists who can let you know everything from health to supplying your pharmaceutical needs. Gold is expanding not only to buy but companies and suppliers are making money by simply selling it back to these major companies who will use it to make more jewelry rather than having paid workers mine it for them when they can get it cheaper from citizens. The growth of these corporations is a big part of our society and way of life.
As you buy and sell stocks there are some trends you will realize throughout your company. Some ways of buying a stock that will do well is much easier than you think. A couple things you should notice is your community seeing stores or corporations being built or up for sale should let let you know how well the stocks are for it. Or when you come across a stock that you have noticed growing see how expensive it is, when you buy more of something even the slightest changes in it can make or lose a lot of money. If you choose a stock like an airline when a volcano irrupts or another natural disaster look to sell it before it can do you a lot of damage. Buying stocks is really not as complicated as you would think.
Stocks are very unpredictable, you may see a major bear or bull market. A stock that may be a good investment is Rite Aid, because it may not be going up very much yet it is very cheap so if you buy a lot you can make a lot of money. Target is a company very much like Rite Aid yet it is much more expensive so you might find a major profit or loss depending on how many stocks you buy. Gold is a very unpredictable stock because it is either going way up or down, I would not consider this a good investment because how much money you can lose with a slight change in the market. As much as stocks will help you, you may also lose just as much as you make.

The 5th highest PB. The 4th highest LP Personal best ever!
Congratulations Akiko! So proud of you!
Seems Akiko had her hair cut. So cute!
Thank you Akiko for giving us once again such GORGEOUS progrmas to Kill Bill and Cirque du soleil's O!
Does anyone have a link to an image of Akiko's banner towel version 2? This is what the first version looks like. I've seen the second version before, but I've since forgotten it.
Edit: I think I've found it.
She is so beautiful!
I love it because I tried reading other forums and they feel the same way i feel for Akiko.
She really has the light of Michelle Kwan! The magic!
I place Michelle Kwan on the pedestal but Akiko is truly up there as well.
I am just out of words when I describe the greatness of Queen Akiko Suzuki. She is just unbelievable.
I agree. She is extremely musical
What a lovely title for a thread. I hope someone associated with Akiko sees your thread and reports to Akiko, because I'm sure she would be touched to know what an impact she has on fans. The nice thing is that her fans are not just in Japan--she reaches people all over the world (including me, definitely). That's got to be meaningful for a skater.
Her versatility in interpreting nearly all musical styles is phenomenal. She is such a gift to the sport.
She belongs my list of all-time greats (JANET LYNN, MICHELLE KWAN and AKIKO SUZUKI).
I am really excited to find out what would be her musical choices for next season
I hope she would peak at the right time
From Akiko's blog:
-Three sisters, current version http://ameblo.jp/suzuki-akko/image-1...507368097.html
-Three sisters, 'elder' version http://ameblo.jp/suzuki-akko/image-1...507367579.html
Wow, Yukari hasn't changed a bit since she retired after 2009-10 season!
Akiko latest blog entry with photos of members of team Japan at a BBQ. She says she is in Detroit getting choreography
and relaxing.
Akiko skating to "West Side Story" from SOI 2010! Pure bliss!

New Hong Kong fashion trade show The HUBHosted at Hong Kong's Asia World Expo with satellite events in downtown venues, the inaugural August 2013 edition of The HUB will focus on the young designer, denim, streetwear, lifestyle clothing and accessories sectors.

Moreover, visitors can benefit from a comprehensive schedule of accompanying trend presentations and business seminars on retail, marketing tactics or logistics held by international retailers and consultants.

Jodi Cobb specializes in large-scale, global stories exploring such topics as 21st-century slavery as well as more intimate stories set inside closed and secret worlds. A former staff photographer for National Geographic, she has worked in more than 50 countries, primarily in the Middle East and Asia.
Cobb was one of the first photographers to cross China when it reopened to the West, traveling 7,000 miles (11,000 kilometers) in two months for the book Journey Into China. She was the first photographer to enter the hidden lives of women of Saudi Arabia, welcomed into the palaces of princesses and the tents of Bedouins for a landmark article in 1987. And she was the first woman to be named White House Photographer of the Year.
For her book Geisha: The Life, the Voices, the Art, Cobb entered another world closed to outsiders, the geisha of Japan. She was also given special access to photograph inside a different sort of closed world, the ill-fated Gore presidential campaign of 2000.
Cobb has produced numerous articles for National Geographic, including "This Thing Called Love," "21st-Century Slaves," "The Enigma of Beauty," and "Bahia: Where Brazil Was Born," and she has contributed to several National Geographic books.
Cobb has also photographed for the Day in the Life series of books and was a prime contributor to Vietnam Veterans Memorial: The Wall, Here Be Dragons, and The Way Home: Ending Homelessness in America. Her work was also featured in the book Women Photographers at National Geographic and its accompanying exhibitions.
Her photographs have drawn acclaim at exhibitions around the world. She regularly teaches at workshops and has lectured all over the world at such venues as the International Center of Photography, the Asia Society, the Japan Society, New York's 92nd Street Y, and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. She was featured in the PBS documentary On Assignment and has frequently appeared on NBC's Today Show. She has also won several awards, including numerous National Press Photographers Association Pictures of the Year awards and World Press awards.
Cobb received her B.A. in journalism and a master of art from the University of Missouri.

"The educational success of our children depends on creating a society that is both literate and imaginative, both skilled and creative." Mary L. Cavaioli, M.S. NBCT K-12 Curriculum, Arts Integration Specialist, Palm Beach County School District.
For this Education Morning the third graders of Hammock Pointe Elementary explored portraiture from the Museum's Permanent Collection; focusing on works that provide a direct curriculum connection which support the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards. Students were encouraged to discuss artwork based on how it evokes or displays emotion. For example, "Samantha" by Alex Katz is an abstracted print with bright colors and limited detail. A few students cited the lack of detail but noted how the colors made them feel happy. An open dialogue prepared the students to create their own self portrait downstairs in the auditorium.
After the tour students drew their self-portrait while looking in a mirror. The outcome revealed how different the eyes of every student are; an exercise in drawing suddenly became a window to how each student views themself. A link between art and the world around them was forged with the students' self-reflection. The studio component offered an experience in communication, visualization, and sensitivity to the self and others.
I talked to the teachers of Hammock Pointe Elementary and was inspired by how essential creative expression is in their classrooms. Teacher Carri Gallager posits "It [art] creates a kinesthetic connection between subjects (like reading and science). Art is connectivity that aids the children in expressing their relationship to school subjects." Hammock Pointe is an inclusive school; children on the special needs spectrum are integrated with their peers in the classroom. For teachers like Gallager, art is a form of self-expression that allows each participant to communicate their own unique view of the world. "For many of them, that is their gift; to recreate visually what they study, what they read."
Education Mornings facilitates the integration of art into the curriculum and demonstrates the enhancement art gleans for educational success. Because of art, students are engaged with their own blossoming cognizance. Any way we spin it, art is important. It's crucial. It balances, develops, enriches, and strengthens every mind. The museum provides Education Mornings to fortify the confidence of each participant and gently guide learning minds to embrace the power of creativity. Because Art definitely Matters.
Education Mornings at the Boca Museum of Art yet again demonstrates that art really does matter. After a group tour of the galleries for a class of 2nd Graders from Hammock Pointe Elementary School, the young artists decided to thank the museum by sending in their interpretive drawings of art found around the museum galleries. They also attached a note of appreciation for the tour and signed it "Your friend".
As part of our Artmatters Campaign, we would like to celebrate the Education Programs hosted at the Museum by posting their thoughtful cards below(Click on the students artwork). And for a bit of trivia, we have also attached the artwork interpreted by the 2nd graders.
See if you can determine which artwork mattered to the students! Win free admission to the Museum for a day!
Simply Like our Facebook page "Boca Museum of Art" and leave a comment pairing up each interpretive drawing with its inspiration done by Hammock Pointe Elementary students after a tour of the Museum. Offer good through November, 30th, 2013.
During hurricane season in Florida, many collectors are wondering, "how do I protect outdoor art from harm?" The (up to) 150 mph winds, the torrents of saltwater, and the flying debris create a perilous environment for beloved artwork investments. To protect outdoor art from rust and more, check out this list of top 10 ways to protect outdoor sculpture from hurricanes:
Each sculpture is different and the best way to address hurricane preparedness for outdoor artwork is to confer with your independent insurance provider. Keep safe!
We at the Boca Museum are certainly fans of the recent boom in photography. We have an Instagram page and upload images to Twitter, not to mention Facebook and Pinterest. In fact, we have expanded our photography policy to allow cellphone photos in our second-floor permanent collection galleries.
There are a few drawbacks to the avalanche of photos though, one of them being the credit lines that accompany images. When we print up any materials that feature an image, we always include a certain set of information about the piece. Of course, not every visitor to the museum has the time to be studiously copying down an artist's name, the title of an artwork, the medium used, and so on.
To that end, we'd like to spotlight five of the artworks that appear often on social media, specifically Flickr, and fill in some blanks on who made what, when, and why. If you would like to learn more about an artwork you have seen or photographed at the museum, leave a comment below and we will tell you all about it!
Space Station by Julio Larraz
Julio Larraz was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1944. He created this sculpture out of painted bronze and it stands a whopping 17 ½ feet high. It is placed in the courtyard near our front door and was purchased by the Boca Museum with funding provided by anonymous donors and the Dr. and Mrs. John J. Mayers Foundation.
A lot of people see this and immediately think "teacups" because of the cups' small size and the shape of the pot on the top. This is actually a stack of coffee cups with a coffee pot balanced precariously on top. Larraz is addressing the historically unbalanced politics of Latin America, specifically, the coffee business. Using metaphor, he implies that all the little coffee cups – the workers – hold up the big pot – the owner – on coffee plantations and in coffee business.
Power is imbalanced and at any point, the cups could cause the pot to come crashing down.
Hoy es Hoy [Today is Today] by Javier Marin
Javier Marin was born in Mexico in 1962. He created this magnificent sculpture in 2002 out of bronze, like Larraz, but he left it unpainted. This is another very large piece, it is almost 13 feet high, 8 feet in width, and 10 feet deep. It sits on the side of the museum that faces US-1 and was purchased by the Boca Museum with funds from our Collectors Forum group in addition to the Dr. and Mrs. John J. Mayers Foundation.
This sculpture does not depict just one woman's face. Instead, it is a combination of multiple races: Mexican, Native American, and Asian.
Labirintite by Rabarama
The Boca Museum doesn't actually own Labirintite, it is on loan from Vecchiato Art Galleries in Padua, Italy. We've been lucky to have it since 2001. Rabarama is an Italian artist who was born in 1969 and she made this sculpture out of painted bronze. Paint doesn't fare too well outdoors here in Boca because of the salt air. Because of that, we have had to sand and repaint this piece once already and are about to do it again. The first time, Rabarama visited the museum from Italy and did it herself!
The piece is five feet high by nine feet long and six feet deep. Rabarama covers all of her sculptures in patterns like this: mazes, puzzle pieces, numbers, and letters. These refer to her interest in genetics and DNA, basically what makes us up as people. The labyrinth on this one refers not only to the genetics that make up our bodies but also to the journey that each person takes in his or her own life – the experiences that make us up as people.
Celestial Presence by Dorothy Gillespie
Sadly, Dorothy Gillespie passed away last year at the age of 92. She had a very long, full life as an artist though. For instance, she created this polychromed hanging sculpture out of shaped, cut aluminum in 2007, at the age of 87! It is 25 feet high, 20 feet long, and 12 feet deep.
It has been hanging at the museum for six years and every year we have to take it down for hurricane season as it hangs so closely to our windows. There are more than 350 "starbursts" hanging here! This gift from the Dorothy Gillespie Foundation transforms both the inside and the outside of the museum into an elaborate fantasy of explosive, multi-colored movement.
Music Power II by Arman
French/American artist Arman was born in Nice, France and lived from 1928 to 2005. He uses only his first name in deference to Vincent Van Gogh, who only signed his first name on paintings. Influenced heavily by the Dada movement, Arman made "accumulations" of objects like the violoncellos seen here.
Sliced, smashed, or burned musical instruments were one of his most recognizable subjects since the 1960s. This piece was created in 2002. As an amateur cellist and son of an antiques dealer, Arman was surrounded by music from a very young age. He gifted this sculpture to the Boca Museum himself.
As it is in every museum, a main goal of the institution is to engage people, most importantly, children. From class field trips to contests, the Museum goes one step further with the family-friendly program rightfully named Creation Station.
Sine 2012, the Museum ran this program for families with busy weekday schedules. It offered a weekend bonding and learning opportunity for children and parents. This was the last Creation Station and I was glad to have been a part of it.
Families learned about visual arts in a relaxed and fun manner by first viewing specific works in museum and then making an artwork themselves in the spirit of that piece. Activities included crafting a sculpture out of recycled objects, creating a collage, or solving a jigsaw puzzle. Each month Creation Station has a different activity/focus. Volunteers are on hand to assist families.
The artists in focus this time were Miriam Schapiro and James Rosenquist. Both of these artists have pieces, more specifically collages, that are part of the Museum's permanent collection.
Miriam Schapiro, (Canadian, 1923- ), Heart in the Heartlands, 1979, Fabric collage and acrylic paint on paper, 38 x 36 inches. Permanent Collection 2004.041. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Aber
JAMES ROSENQUIST, (American,1933- ),Sketch for Automobile Cover, 1971, collage with magazine pages, tissue paper, tape, crayon and pencil on paper, 15 x 22 inches. Permanent Collection 1993.265. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Steinman
This past Saturday I got to act as the volunteer that assisted families, I helped children soak everything in and create their own works of art.
When the first group came in, the girls were cautious of going any further because they had spotted the eerily life-like security guard resting down by the edge of the table: Duane Hanson's Security Guard.
This went on with every group that entered the museum, including two girls dressed as little princesses, crowns and all. Even the adults were taken by surprise when they discovered he was a sculpture. When it came time to create their collages many of the kids wanted to give the finished product to dad as a Father's Day gift. The themes ranged from golf to the sea. The possibilities were endless! I was able to help the kids cut out shapes, and come up with decorating ideas. The parents even got involved; one mom even said "I miss doing this! It is so much fun!" Not only was it fun for them but it was fun for me as well, I loved being able to see the glowing faces of the kids as they proudly showed off their work once it was completed. This just goes to show that all you really need to have fun is some inspiration, and maybe a little glue.

Build Python-enabled Vim on Windows with MinGW
this wiki
created March 12, 2010 · complexity basic · author Vlad.irnov · version 7.0
Getting Python scripting in Vim on Windows can be a bit tricky, see :help python-dynamic:
- Python must be installed.
- Vim must be compiled with the Python interface (
:echo has("python")).
- The version of Python against which Vim was compiled must match the installed Python version, that is the Python DLL name, such as
You may not need this tip because the two main Windows installers for Vim already have Python support. The most up-to-date Vim version is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/ (Vim without Cream) and has Vim compiled for Python 2.7 (as of version 7.3.829). You may find this tip useful if you want to compile your own Vim on Windows if, for example, you need Vim for a different version of Python.
- Vim version 7.3 is already installed. We only want to replace files
- Python is installed. Let's assume it's Python 2.6 and it is installed in
C:/Python26. The official Python installer from http://www.python.org puts
python26.dllin a directory in the PATH.
Step 1: Install MinGW tools
- Download Automated MinGW Installer (file
MinGW-5.1.6.exe) from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435
- Put installer in a separate directory. During installation a bunch of compressed files are downloaded and logs are created. These files will remain after installation is finished and can be deleted.
- Launch installer. Choose Download and Install. Install type: current.
- Choose components to install: MinGW base tools (minimal type of install), MinGW Make, all other are optional.
- Choose install directory. Let's assume it's C:\MinGW. Finish install.
Step 2: Download Vim source files
- Get Vim sources, from whichever source you prefer (the source version should match your currently installed Vim version):
- Getting the Vim source with Mercurial
- ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/pc/vim73src.zip
- ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/vim-7.3.tar.bz2
- https://github.com/b4winckler/vim This is a
gitclone of Vim's official Mercurial repository. This may be the easiest way to get the most recent Vim source with all patches included. You can also select any previous version via branches/tags menu.
- Extract or check out all in one directory, for example C:\devel\vim73.
Step 3 (optional): Edit Vim feature set, apply patches
The NORMAL feature set does not include feature "signs". To include this feature when building NORMAL version of Vim, edit file
add "|| defined(FEAT_NORMAL)" to +signs section.
Alternatively, you could just build with the "HUGE" feature set.
Step 4: Build gvim.exe and vim.exe
Create a batch file called
build_vim.bat, with the following content. Instead of "
C:/Python26" use the directory where Python is installed on your system.
This will build Vim using BIG feature set, no OLE. Adjust options accordingly if you want NORMAL or other feature set.
@echo off REM this file must be run in Vim source directory (e.g., C:\devel\vim73\src) REM these folders and files can be deleted after compilation: /gobj/, /obj/, pathdef.c REM add "bin" directory of MinGW installation to system PATH PATH = %PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin; REM build GUI version (gvim.exe) mingw32-make.exe -f Make_ming.mak PYTHON="C:/Python26" PYTHON_VER=26 DYNAMIC_PYTHON=yes NETBEANS=no FEATURES=BIG gvim.exe > build_vim_log.txt REM build console version (vim.exe) mingw32-make.exe -f Make_ming.mak PYTHON="C:/Python26" PYTHON_VER=26 DYNAMIC_PYTHON=yes NETBEANS=no FEATURES=BIG GUI=no vim.exe >> build_vim_log.txt pause
Move the batch file to the Vim source directory, that is
Run the batch file to build
gvim.exe and
vim.exe. It takes 4-6 min.
Any errors should appear in the console window. Clean up after script is finished: delete folders "gobj" and "obj", files "pathdef.c", "build_vim_log.txt".
A slightly more sophisticated and more convenient version of the above batch file. It can be run from any directory. It moves freshly built gvim.exe, vim.exe, and the log file to the directory of the batch file, and performs clean up automatically.
@echo off REM ------- specify Vim /src folder ---------------- set VIMSRC=C:\devel\vim73\src REM ------- add MinGW /bin directory to PATH ------- PATH = %PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin; REM get location of this batch file set WORKINGDIR=%~dp0 set LOGFILE=%WORKINGDIR%log.txt echo Vim sources directory: %VIMSRC% echo working directory: %WORKINGDIR% REM change to Vim /src folder cd /D %VIMSRC% REM build GUI version (gvim.exe) mingw32-make.exe -f Make_ming.mak PYTHON="C:/Python" PYTHON_VER=26 DYNAMIC_PYTHON=yes NETBEANS=no FEATURES=BIG GUI=yes gvim.exe > "%LOGFILE%" move gvim.exe "%WORKINGDIR%" REM build console version (vim.exe) mingw32-make.exe -f Make_ming.mak PYTHON="C:/Python" PYTHON_VER=26 DYNAMIC_PYTHON=yes NETBEANS=no FEATURES=BIG GUI=no vim.exe >> "%LOGFILE%" move vim.exe "%WORKINGDIR%" REM clean up: delete /gobj/, /obj/, pathdef.c del pathdef.c del /Q gobj rmdir gobj del /Q obj rmdir obj pause
Step 5: Replace gvim.exe and vim.exe with new files
Shut down all instances of Vim. Navigate to Vim program folder:
C:\Programs\Vim\vim73 or similar. Back up the original
gvim.exe and
vim.exe: either rename them to
vim_original.exe or move them to another folder.
Copy the new
gvim.exe and
vim.exe files to the Vim program folder (by copying the files, the default permissions of the folder should be applied to the copies). Start Vim and see if it works:
:version :py print 2**0.5 :py import sys; print sys.version
This is a very ambitious tip! Following are some initial thoughts:
- Our starting point for a "building Vim" tip is Build Vim with your name included (no useful content at the moment).
- Is the following correct: "The official Python installer ... puts python25.dll in %windir%/system32"? Perhaps that is an install option? I have installed Python several times and do not recall it dumping stuff in system32.
- There should be a "clean" option in the makefile that can be used, rather than the advice to delete certain directories (and pathdef.c is in the deleted directory so need to mention it).
- It is not really useful to build Vim without getting the current patches. The correct (and very easy) procedure now is to use the Mercurial repository set up by Bram to hold all the patched source and runtime files. We need documentation on how to do this.
- Using a suitable build from Vim-without-Cream is definitely the best approach for 99% of Windows users. Some hunting around would probably find a version with an old version of Python if required (it would have an older Vim, although one that would be newer than 7.2 with no patches).
JohnBot 06:14, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
What is the github stuff? Björn Winckler is a well known Vimmer, but the github is an unofficial clone of the official release available via Mercurial
, so I don't see why it would be listed first. Also, some explanation is needed: the tip says to select the Vim version via "Switch Tags" but is that really the Vim version? JohnBeckett 10:13, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
- The GitHub mirror looks like the easiest way to download the most recent Vim source with all patches included, as well as any previous 7.x version. Only a web browser is needed. I assume that each tagged snapshot corresponds to Vim 7.x with indicated patches applied, but I cannot prove it. Getting the source from the official Mercurial repo requires installing Hg and figuring out how to use it. (I got the minimum, portable, CLI-only version and it takes up >17MB.) The Gettig_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial tip is too much for someone who just wants to download the source and is not interested in Mercurial. And it says examples are for Linux.

Grex Tritium airbrushes represent a premium line of double-action pistol-style trigger airbrushes. Their intuitive, easy-to-use design appeals to beginners, yet their fine detail control and comfortable operation make them a good fit for professionals as well.
This comprehensive, feature-packed line of airbrushes accommodates a variety of airbrushing preferences — top or side gravity, left or right handed, big or small reservoir, fine or wide spraying.
Grex Tritium airbrushes come in two forms — Tritium.TG, a top-gravity version and Tritium.TS, a side-gravity version. Each version is available in three different models with 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, or 0.5 mm nozzle sizes. The features of the Tritium.TG and Tritium.TS are identical, except for the feed type.
The nozzle size on any of the Tritium airbrushes can be changed with optional conversion kits, which are not included. Nozzle Conversion Kits offer an option to modify any Tritium airbrush to a 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, or 0.5 mm nozzle size.
The double-action pistol-style trigger is an intuitive, easy-to-use, and comfortable trigger system that offers fine control from detailed to wide spraying. It feature two-stage operation; the first half of the trigger motion controls the air and the second half controls the paint volume.
Its ergonomic handgrip is a pistol-style with a textured surface that offers a firm and comfortable grip, helps minimize hand fatigue and cramping, and allows individuals with chronic finger or hand issues to airbrush more comfortably.
A high-performance nozzle design features a fine thread screw-in design for precise nozzle centering. Constructed of stainless steel with large diameter threads for extra durability, nozzles are precision-machined for optimal paint flow through the nozzle and optimal air flow around the nozzle.
A high-performance needle design has a long taper at the needle tip to provide superior fine paint volume control. It is precision-machined from stainless steel for a durable, matched fit to the nozzle.
A pre-set adjustment knob allows for precise paint volume control and adjustments. A dial limits the paint volume for an easy way to create consistent spray patterns — or dial it all the way back for full trigger control.
The patented design of the Quick-Fit needle makes the needle easy to attach and remove, yet remain securely in place when you need to protect the airbrush needle tip. The Quick-Fit crown needle cap has cut-away sides that provide improved air flow when spraying close to the work surface so that fine detailed patterns can be achieved.

WASHINGTON – The popular Capital Bikeshare program is further expanding in Virginia.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Thursday, March 28 to open the latest station at the Walter Reed Community Center in Arlington. It will be the 200th station in the bike sharing system to open.
A plan is in place for 33 stations to be up and running in Arlington County this year and in the Columbia Pike and Shirlington areas. There is a complete map of the new locations.
It's a further expansion of the program in the county and part of its Transit Development Plan. The plan outlines proposals to expand the program in Arlington County through 2018, according to a county report.
Last year, the focus was on the Rossyln-Ballston area where 30 new stations were added.
According to Capital Bikeshare, nearly 1,700 bikes operate at more than 175 stations in the District, Arlington County and the City of Alexandria. And there are plans to expand the service to Montgomery and Prince George's Counties in Maryland.

Robert Griffin III will get more tests on his injured right knee after an MRI proved inconclusive because of a previous ACL tear.
Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Monday that the rookie quarterback will travel Tuesday to see orthopedist James Andrews for more examinations.
Griffin tore his ACL while playing at Baylor in 2009, and Shanahan said sometimes an old injury can cloud the results of an MRI.
If Griffin has torn the ACL again, he would likely require a rehabilitation period of nine to 12 months, putting his status for next season in jeopardy.
Griffin reinjured his knee twice in Sunday's playoff loss to Seattle.
