1. How did your investments go? Did you make money? Lose money? At fist my investment looked good then I lost all my money in my investment when the market crashed
2. How did you like the activity, overall? Do you think that you will invest in the stock market in the future. If i do invest in the stock market i will be very careful with what stock i chose and make sure i can move my money if i want to.
3. i cant even think about how this would make me feel my whole life savings gone i think i would go in to a depression myself if i lived during this time.
How did your investments go? Did you make money? Lose money?
-My Investment went pretty well, i looked at the stocks to see how they where doing before i made a decision on what i would be investing my "virtual" money in.Im currently gaining money,
2. How did you like the activity, overall? Do you think that you will invest in the stock market in the future?
-So far im liking the activity pretty well.I invested my money in the Apple corporation (AAPL) And its so far giving me a good investment and making me a profit. And of course i would most likely be investing my money in the stocks in the future, i currently have money in stocks right now as we speak, but i cant touch it till i turn 18, My aunt and uncle invested 1000 dollars in their stocks about 5 years ago?

- i would fell pretty bad if that actually happened,Like i would probably go in a depressed state on mind haha, The pros would be that you learned something i guess? and that you should think twice on how and what you could do with your money.and the cons would probably be Living in a very poor and helpless situation. Because of the market crashing a lot of men and women had to get better jobs or even get a job.

i cant even think about how this would make me feel my whole life savings gone i think i would go in to a depression myself if i lived during this time.
It went so bad i lost half of million. That was not good at all lose that money and not being able to do anything about it.
2. It was not good because i lost good money thats was sad money just going away and you cant do nothing about it.
3. It wood be so bad because i will lose all my life savings in the stocks. The pros are that you are gaining money that you get to keep. The cons are that you are investing money that you don't now what is going to happen to it.
1. I am not too good at investing my money. I only made about 3000 dollars.
2. It was fun. I wish I had more time in class to research the stocks. I will invest money in the future if I learn more about it.
3. I would probably want to give up everything if that happened to me.
Good thing about stock market is that you have a chance to make a lot of money. However, it is not always for sure.
1. How did your investments go? Did you make money? Lose money?
In my investment I did lose a bit of money but it slowly started to increase over some time. Right now I'm breaking even with how much money I put in and how much I am receiving from my stocks, which isn't bad but I'd much rather be making more money.
2. How did you like the activity overall? Do you think that you will invest in the stock market in the future?
I don't think that I will be investing in the stock market anytime soon, in my opinion it is too risky. There is no such thing as a sure thing, which worries me. I think that I will just stick to working a daily job knowing I will have make money rather than hope I earn money.
3. If I had lost all of my money, my whole life savings, I would probably become a hobo and sink into depression. I mean, I lost everything. That would make me feel horrible, I am glad that I am not living during that time.
1.In the first week i started to loss money, thanks to google. But then i invested in Adobe and they shot me back up.
2.I enjoyed it very much. I think im gonna continue playing the game. I dont think i will. Im to afraid to loss my money in somthing like that. I will have a fiamly to suport.
3. i probebly loss my mind. I would freak out because i dont know what i would do if i lost all my monye. Some pros are you can make lots and lots of money. You can make it prity fast too. Some cons are you can loss everything you had in just a blink of an eye.
1. My investments went okay, I lost a lot of money on one stock, but the other made more so I didn't loose all my money.
2. The activity overall was interesting, I don't plan on investing in the stock market unless I do a lot of research on what I'm investing in first.
3. If all of my life savings disappeared in the madness of the stock market crash, I would be very disappointed. The pros of investing life savings into the stock market is you could potentially become extremely rich if you invested right. However, if your company goes bankrupt, your out of luck and all your money is gone.

1) in my opinion it went pretty well. i profited $3,385.64. i had to sell a couple of my shares though because all they were doing was bringing me down and after i sold them my profits went up.
2) yes i like the activity, i was on it all the time trying to find some new company's to invest in. no i don't think i will because there was times when everything i invested in just shot down and i lost a lot of money but then like a couple hours later i would profit again.
3)i cant imagine myself homeless and begging for food. i feel really bad for the people that had to go through that.
1. My investments didn't go because I was absent the first day of this week the upside is that I did lose any money but I also did not make any. If I had invested I would most likely not have done very well because this fake investing thus the outcome really does not matter.
2. Based on what I know about it I can't really say much on my enjoyment of it. I doubt I will do any investing anytime soon I'm not one for investments.
3. I really can't imagine myself doing that if I had that much money but if I did the event specified would have pissed me off pretty badly, as for the pros of my investing I don't think any exist and as far as cons go how about most if not all of the money I invested is gone and I also might have lost everything I own.
1. How did your investments go? Did you make money? Lose money?
I invested money mainly on Google, Apple, Oil companies and Dow Jones.
Apple and the Oil companies grew, but Google and Dow Jones didn't, and since I had spent more money on Google and Dow Jones stocks, so I lost several thousand dollars.
How did you like the activity, overall? Do you think that you will invest in the stock market in the future?
This simulation of real stock market doesn't show us the real value of money. If I had "only" a million dollars in total, I certainly wouldn't invest it all in the stock market. I'll probably try to invest in it, but only with amounts that, in case I lose them all, it wouldn't affect my life too much.
Imagine you lived in the 1930s and have invested all of your life savings (that $1,000,000 you used for the activity) into the stock market.
If I had a million dollars in the 1930s, after the first signs of recession, I would probably sell all my shares as soon as possible, in order to minimize the loss.
With all that money, I would be able to live normally, since $900,000 in 1930s were worth a lot.
I certainly would feel bad, because the fall of the stock market totally slowed down the American economy, and with it, the American life.
The stock market is a great opportunity to invest capitals and make profit, but it's a tool to use really carefully. I wouldn't put all my money in it, if I'm not 100% sure that I'm not going to lose it.
1. At first my investments where doing well, and looked good. Then my investment started to go down, and I lost money.
2. The activity over all was a good experience to show what's it's like to invest in the stock market today. If I was ever going to invest in the market for real I would be a lot more careful. I wouldn't rush into investing, I would do background checks, and see how the company was doing. But this activity set a good example for how things work in the stock market.
3. If I invested my whole life savings into the stock market and then found out it crashed afterwards, I would be very shocked. I might at first not even believe that it's true, but soon it would start to sink in and I would begin to panic. I think I would fall into a depressed state also, because loosing everything would be a major challenge.
1. I am terrible at the stock market game so my investments did not go over well. I never checked how my stocks were doing so they kept getting worse.
2. After I worked through some of my stocks I did make some money but I would never invest in the real stock market in the future because that is a good waste of my money.
3. I would be completely stunned, heartbroken, and lost if i had investe so much in something that had turned out to be a complete failure. If you were good at the stock market then that would be a plus to invest a lot of money. However, if you were like me, investing money would only bring you to sadness.
My investments went well but not excellent. I invested in 800 shares of Apple and 50 shares of Netflix, I gained$8,299.50. I really liked this activity and I will definitely invest in the stock market. If i would have invested $1,000,000 in the stock market on october 29,1929, I would feel devastated because I just through away one million dollars. The pros and cons of investing money in the stock market is that it is a gamble, just like you can gain a lot of money you can also lose it in the blink of an eye.
my investments went reeally well,apple was the company that really made me money, and is still increasing.i lost money the first day after i invested in american express, i lost $300 but then i bought stocks from apple and ebay and it went up to $5,967.08. i thought the activity was fun to see how the stock market works! if i do invest in the stock market, i will be careful how much i buy because it could turn on me in a split second. if i lost all my money from the stock market crash, i would feel likw it was the end of the world because i would probably have had a family to feed!!
-kristina L
The first two days I gained money but that the companies, in which I inverted started to lose money and so did I. I really like the activity because you get the feeling specially when you lose money how they felt, even it's not real money. I don't think that I am going to invert in the stock marked because is o dangerous for me to lose my money.
If i would live in 1929 ad had invested all my money in the stock marked and would lose it i would be really depressive and would not be sure how I should live in the future and how I should take care of my family without money.
1. Yes I made some money, but only about 15 bucks and regained my original amount of money. (the 1,000,000 dollars)
2. I thought the activity was pretty interesting but I doubt I'll invest in the stock market in the future. I don't want to have the chance of buying a share then loosing money.
3. I would most likely not know what to do or be in a depression if I invested then lost everything. The obvious cons are losing money when the market goes down, and you probably don't want to invest ALL your money. Pros are that you get money in the end, so that's good.
How did your investments go? Did you make money? Lose money?
I gained 17,030.10 Dollar. I just chose randomly, I didn't even know exactly what I was doing, but it turned out well. I had 15 companies and 4 of them didn't even change at all.
How did you like the activity, overall?
It was interesting, but I think we could have learned some more before we started, that we could have known some more about how to handle it.
Do you think that you will invest in the stock market in the future?
I don't know. My parents have stocks, but they don't really do anything with it. They just have them. My brother or me will probably get them one day.
Explain: how you would feel after the fall of the stock market October 29, 1929, AND the pros and cons of investing your life savings into the stock market:
I would have lost all my money, so I wouldn't feel good at all. All my life saving is gone and I totally have to start all over. I would have a lot of troubles, because $1,000,000 takes a lot of time to get it back. I don't know if I even could try to do that. Maybe I would not be motivated anymore.
Pro: You can make a lot of money just from sitting at home.
Cons: You can lose as much money as you can win. Even if you kind of know, how it works, it's still not guarantied, that you make money.
My investment went well. i ended up making 1,956. The activity was overall good. In the future i might invest depending how my income is in the future.
1. I spent $6332.13.
2. Well I started doing this in 7th Grade.
3. I would feel broke.
1. Some of my investments did really well for the most part. i gained about 5,000 dollars this week.
2. my stocks went up and down, some days i lost money and some days i gained money. I dont think i will invest in the stock market in the future.
3. I would feel like i lost everything i worked for and it would be hard to gain everything i lost back. Even now money is very tight and its a struggle sometimes because you have to budget everything.
1. I'd say I did pretty good. I made $26 K and only lost $400.
2. I think is entertaining because if you know how the stocks are you know what you will make and only the rare unexpected drops will mess you up.
3. I'm not that sure how I would feel, of course I would be depressed about the fact that I just lost all of my money in one fell swoop and can't do much about it.
My investing went alright. I liked the activity but I don't think I'm going to invest that much money in the stock market in the future. it's too risky for me. I can't even imagine how it would feel to lose all of my money over something that I couldn't control. The pros of the stock market are that it's good for industry and it makes investors money. The cons are that can also lose money and is at times unreliable as a main source of income.
1-My investments went pretty well. I lost money at first but then gained money.
2- I actually liked the activity and I will probably continue to do this so I can see how much I can make.It is possible that I might invest in the future but I am unsure.
3-I would be devestated that I lost all my money, I would not know what to do and would hate to live on the street.
I made cash to spend I got 45 dollars. The activity overall was interesting. I might invest in the stocks once i fully understand it.
My investments did okay i would have liked to do a bit better though. I made just about 4000 dollars. I though the activity was fun and it showed us how the stock market works. I think I will definitely invest in the stock market when i am older. I would be so devastated i would not even know what to do.
1. I ended up investing the majority of my money in Apple. I made most of my profit from it. I lost a lot of money in google. In all I made $5,686.93. 2. I lost money in google, pcyc, and rrgb. I probably won't invest in the stock market in the future. I am not oa fan of taking huge risks like that and it if history repeats itself I will lose everything. 3. I can't even imagine the horrors of losing a life savings of that size especially in the 1930's. To rebuild all the money would be near impossible. The only pro to investing in the stock market would be making a profit, but if you lose everything the only thing you can do is try to rebuild. It truly just isn't worth it.
1.I made $45,070.20. I feel like i got extremely lucky. Oil is where it is at.
2.I really like the activity. I really think that i will invest into the stock market once i get an extremely stable job.
3. I believe that i would be extremely depressed after losing all of my life savings. The pro of investing my life savings into the market is if i get lucky i have just increased my life savings. The cons are that i could lose my life savings.
my investments went well I barely made any money but i stayed in the green. I did not lose any money and I made a little over 1500 dollars. I liked this activity considering I have done this activity before. I probable won't invest in the future mainly because I suck at it. I don't see how there are any pros in losing all your money.
1. My investments went pretty good. I made $7,510.06
2. I really liked this activity because it was really fun watching how much money i made over the last few days. I probably won't invest in the stock market because it's too much of a risk for me. It would be great to make alot of money quickly but the risk of losing money is always there.
3. I can't even begin to imagine how I would feel if I lost all my money to the stock market crash. I wouldn't know what to do to.
1, my investments didn't go so good, i lost almost 3000 dollars.
2, i did enjoy the experimenting with stocks, i think that the mistake i did that made me loose money was that i bought stocks from many different companies. and i got unlucky with one of them (google) and lost 2500 on it. maybe i will invest in the stock market someday, not as my work but just as a hobby. it was exiting and fun, with fake money. i do have some stocks that i got from my great grandpa worth about 2000, maybe i could start from there.
3, if i lost all my money in the stock market i would get really angry and upset with myself. but i would bite the dust and go live as a hobo going around america and seeing new stuff. maybe if im lucky find a job and a place to live.
1. My investment did well, I made $2196.00.
2. I liked the activity because it had to do with handling money. However, I don't think that I will invest in the stock market in the future. If I do, I would not invest in large amounts of money.
3. I would feel depressed because I would've lost all of my money. The pros of investing your life savings into the stock market are that there is a chance that you would make a large profit. The cons of investing your life savings into the stock market are that there is a chance that you will lose all of your money and become very poor, very fast.
-My investments when okay i suppose ?i didn't lose money but i didn't make a lot. I would consider that to be good because i did make a profit.
-I was a little confused by the activity at first but then it got easier to understand. I probably will not invest in stocks in the future, mainly because it's such a risk and i'd rather play it safe and keep my earnings so in case of any crashes 2020 crashes, i'll be alright :)
-I would probably feel the same way that all the people of the crash felt, i'd feel hopeless and it would traumatizing to think what i would do, i would probably have to turn to family members or work harder and harder at my job, it would be most likely be a horrible experience.
My investments went alright, i made 1300 dollars. I liked the activity, it gave us enough freedom to show us what stocks look like in real life. Honestly i dont think ill be investing in the future just because its extremely risky. If my life savings were just washed away one day i would be speechless. I dont know what i would do, obviosly i would try and rebuild my savings but i would be extremely depressed.
Since I was absent for the day we started this i wasn't really able to realy get into it. But from what i did today, i didn't make much money! I actually lost money. I liked the activity cause it was fun waiting to see if you made or lost money. But as for investing in stock marketing in the future, i don't think i will. As much as it was, it was fake money we were using and if i was to get into in my adult years i'd have to use real money..
If i lived in the 1930's i don't think i'd like loosing ALL my money very much. That's literally my life saving's and then all of a sudden it's gone? Yeah, i definalty wouldn't like living back then. To me there's really no pros in putting your life saving's in the bank, and then loosing it. Nothing really good comes out of that.
1)My investments went pretty good
2)Like it-I don't know right now
3)I'LL BE LIKE F#%! My Money
start a riot,rob banks and go crazy.
THUG LIFE
1. lost money...
2. it was lame. no.
3.it would suck. its 50/50 i guess.
1. I had mad very minimal money. I had bought and sold a couple stocks here and there to try and get a quick improvement but that did not work very well.
2.The activity went extremely well. It was very fun. I found the ability to virtually interact with the stock market to be very intriguing. I may invest in the future, only if I am financially stable and have done enough research.
3.I would have been extremely devastated. My life would have been left in turmoil. I would have kept calm though and just find a way to save up to get my life back on track no matter how harsh the circumstance. The pros to putting all your life savings in the stock market would be that if the stock share you have bought does very well then you will be able to make substantial amounts of money. On the down side to that is that if the stock was to do bad, you would have lost all that you have worked for your entire life.
I think i did better than i had expected. I did lose money but only about a grand. I did like the activity i think that if i had more time i would have done better.If i was in the 1930's i would probably be some bum roaming the streets right now.I would only invest in the future if i become really good at stocks.
1. I lost money since I invested it all in one place.
2. I can't say I particularly enjoy it.
3. That would suck.
1. How did your investments go? Did you make money? Lose money? they went alright i made a little bit but since it isnt real money i didnt care cause i actually have ways of making real money so i used my time more productively, in my opinion.
2. How did you like the activity, overall? Do you think that you will invest in the stock market in the future? I like the idea it was fun but i just wasnt that into which isnt anybodys fault but my own. and yes i think i might eventually invest in the stock market.
3. i lost money, a lot of money which is fine but if would have lost it in real life i would have been inferiated!
1. I actually gained money with my investments. I invested in google, apple and abercrombie and fitch.
2. I actually did like this activity. It was really helpful and made you realize it will be a lot harder in the future to pick what you want to invest in in the future. I can honestly say I don't know if I will invest in them in the future.
3. If I invested all my money into the stock market and it crashed, I would probably be furious. No one wants to lose all the money that they worked so hard for and to lose that would be devastating. The pros of the stock market are that on the 50 50 chance you do invest, you can gain money. Not all people gain, but not everyone loses. The cons are definitely that the stock market are very unstable and at any moment the stock market could crash and you could lose everything you ever saved up or invested in.
My investment didnt really go drastically up or down. Unfortunately i didnt make any money but i did loose 3.39. I dont care for the stock market and will never invest in it because i think its stupid. And if i was in the 1930s during the stockmarket and lost only 3.39 out of a million then i wouldnt have been too worried but i would have changed and gone into a different dirrection.
my investments didn't go to good... i only gained money in two of my investments. i made 4,510 dollars. the activity was pretty cool, i had fun. i might invest in the future but now that i know what to invest in i might have a slight advantage. i would honestly go on a rampage and my targets would be the government.
1. I made some money, but I also lost some when my stocks went way down and I could not sell them fast enough.
2. I though it was a good experence for the future and how we will invest in the stock market for real someday.
3. I would feel awfull and I would no longer have a house, ect. I would have to somehow find a job and figure how to make a living.

1. How did your investments go? Did you make money? Lose money?
- I got $21,213.30
2. How did you like the activity, overall? Do you think that you will invest in the stock market in the future?
- It was fun and i will search more
3. Imagine you lived in the 1930s and have invested all of your life savings (that $1,000,000 you used for the activity) into the stock market. Explain: how you would feel after the fall of the stock market October 29, 1929, AND the pros and cons of investing your life savings into the stock market.
- If i lost all my money, i don't know how to do and start to begging
1.) My investments did not go so well... I lost $339 :( 2.) No its to risky. I value money a lot and have terrible luck and would be nervous all the time if i used stocks unless I knew I would gain money from it. 3.) I would be devistated and hate myself for losing all my money on some risky business. Pros: you could make A LOT of money... cons: you could lose A LOT of money, its a luck thing you have to research a lot if you want to make the big bucks... there are other ways to make money i think.
1:They went alright. I lost $3.41.
2:I'm not that good with stocks and stuff like that so I didn't really care for this activity. I would only do this in the future if I knew a whole lot about stocks.
3:I would feel really stupid. I would be freaking about over how I could provide for myself and family. The pros would be that I would learn to appreciate what I have and to be smarter with my money. The cons would be going through the struggles to survive.
1.I made 2,130$. 2. I liked the activity but investing in it isn't for me. I'd rather gamble. 3.I would feel like an idiot if i invested into the stock market back in 1929. I dont think there are any pros just cons.
1. how did the investment go? did you make money? lose money?
-at first it was going good untill i lost all my money in my investment.
2. how did you like the activity, overall? do you think you will invest in the stock market in the fulture?
-it was interesting, in the fulture if i do i think ill stick to doing more research on what i want to buy.

- would literally cry it would suck to know that all the money you worked hard getting just sliped away in a couple of stocks, id be soo depressed.
my investments went good. I made and lost money. The activity was fun.I would never invest in the stocks. I would feel horrible. There are no Pros. there are all cons.
1. My investments went pretty well, at first I lost some money but as I looked at other companies and their increasing prices, I sold them before they got too tow but still increasing in percentage.
2. I liked this activity, it was different than what we usually do and it show us what others do all the time. It also shows just how easy it is to lose a large amount of money in a short period of time.
3. I would feel extremely vulnerable now that I have no money to spend on daily things. I would know, though, that it was my own fault I put my life savings into the stock market.
1. At first i lost over 2 k but now its up 5 k.
2. i liked this activity it was different and i had fun with it.
3. i will invest in the stock market when i'm older if i have some money to spare.
1. At first i lost over 2 k but now its up 5 k.
2. i liked this activity it was different and i had fun with it.
3. i will invest in the stock market when i'm older if i have some money to spare.
!. I made 1230. 2. I liked the activity but investing in it isn't for me I'd rather gamble. 3. I would feel like a failure if I invested in 1929. I don't think there would be any pros just cons.
My investments went really well. I gained money, and lost very little. I thought the activity was fun and I think we should have more time to play with the stocks in class. I think i'll invest in the stock market when i'm older, but obviously not as much money. I would feel completely lost if I lost all my money, and I would have no idea what to do.
1. My investments went fairly well for only investing about a week in the stock market. The company of Apple made most of my profit, while Google made me lose a lot of money. At the beginning of the week I was down about $2000, but at the end it turned out that I had gained about $5000.
2. Overall, I liked this activity because I think that it prepared me in case I want to invest in the future. I also liked it because it was using fake money, and it was interesting to see the values of the stocks go up and down. In the future I think I might invest in the stock market but only if I had some help in determining the right times to buy and sell the stocks.
3. If I lived in the 1930's and experienced the crash of the stock market, I would feel devastated. If all my life savings disappeared in an instance, I would not know what to do and how I was going to support my family or pay the bills. The pro of investing all of your life savings in the stock market is that if you're lucky, the money invested will accumulate a large profit. The cons of investing your life savings are that the stock market could crash at any moment, resulting in the loss of all of your money. If something went wrong, you would have no money left to turn to in order to get back on your feet.
1) I had lost a bunch towards the beginning, gained it back and then some.Then, Friday I had lost $6,000. Not a good investment in just equipment for land moving.
2) I love the activity! I am still doing it now
3) I couldn'y do it! Having all my life savings in the stock markets? I couldn't do it at all! Maybe in the future if we do come out of this recession.

1. First, it went down. It's goes up and finally, I have profit.
2. I like this activity. But in real life, I won't do it. It has many chance to lose money very easy. And I think if I invested any stocks, it probably be AAPL (apple, inc.) or GOOG (google). These two make me lots of money.
3. I will feel very bad and depressed. I might go find a new job and start from the beginning again.
1. Overall my investments went well. I had a gain of $6.689.20, which means I did not lose any money. My current value was $60,000 more then a million which is also good.
2.The activity was okay but I was absent for some of it. In the future I do not think I will invest in the stock market because it always is so up and down and if you invest your money in the wrong stock then your screwed.
3. If the stock market fell I would freak out. Everything I had ever owned would be gone and I wouldn't know what to do. Pros: WINNING
Cons: LOSING
my investments went well. i made some money lost none i liked the activity it was kinda confusing but im starting to understand it i will definitly have to try it in the future . i would probably cry because that was all my savings gone.
1. my investments went bad i lost all my money and then some and it was surprising i thought i was going to make money
2.I did like the activity but it probaly would have been fun if i made money , i would do this again.
3. if i lived in the depression i would go live in the woods , live off the phat of the land
i overall did pretty average over all my stocks and i liked the game alot and im not positive i vant to invest in the real thing
1. My investments for the stock market project were stagnant.. i made very little money, then lost the little i made, and then some.
2. i loved the activity, unfortunetly, i was on a different time period as in when i did the activity as oppose to the others in my grade, but i still enjoyed feedback i recieved from others, as well as my own progress.
3. i think that i would die. many people in the 30's that lost money couldnt handle the stress, and the financial downfall, and so they committed suicide, or died. i think that some pros would be that the risk it feels, or the temporary gain you might recieve, but the cons are that you would ultimately loose money, and the stress. and losing money means losing a lot of things..

How did your investments go? Did you make money? Lose money? yeah. At first I looked rather unsuccessful, but eventually the value of my stocks skyrocketed. one day at ten thousand, next twenty thousand. And all i did was trust my grandma when she said: "invest in sporting goods, they never go wrong." thanks grandma.
How did you like the activity, overall? Do you think that you will invest in the stock market in the future? probably not. Im not willing to assosiate myself with any risk unless i have to in order to promote who I am to get where i want to go or become. For the event itself, it was very fun. I enjoyed it, given it was only play money.lawlz.
Imagine you lived in the 1930s and have invested all of your life savings (that $1,000,000 you used for the activity) into the stock market. Explain: how you would feel after the fall of the stock market October 29, 1929, AND the pros and cons of investing your life savings into the stock market.
--I would enlist in the army.I couldnt stand trying to survive on my own without a penny to my name. If the army is not available, I could always be a trucker and just work from the bottom up. i dont see the loss of all my wealth as the end really. rather i see it as the dawn of a new begining. Pros for investing--if the market is successful and profitable, then I get more $$$. I think the cons outweigh the pros though, simply because market failure or poor marketing in general appears more common as competition is tough and leaves you with nothing to grow on or lose on. i say just invest what you have in multiple banks and make sure they are insured to at least 150000$.
