To make this simulation realistic, we are pretending that we saved up 10,000 dollars a year for ten years; thus investing 100,000 dollars each.
This simulation will last approximately ten weeks, at which point we will evaluate the results of investing with each strategy.
These overall results, as well as our week to week progress, will be documented and summarized in a report complete with graphical figures and explanations.
In doing all of this we will be accomplishing our goals of developing an understanding of the stock market that we can use to our benefit in the future.
