Twenty percent blog post

My twenty percent project is to develop a cyber security class for all ages and participants. The intent of the class is to develop and implement safe internet practices, virus detection, error prevention, and hardware tampering detection. I'm working in concurrency with Mrs. Laplante to develop this program. Sept. goals: My project changed in the middle of september, so no goals were met. Oct. goals: I managed to work with Mrs. Laplante to lay out a base for what materials I need and to develop a curriculum for the class. I'm retrieving reading material from the main Defcon site.

stock trade vs. investment

Alright. So. My current trade is Apple since the ipad retina mini which is completely frivolous will be coming out the twelfth of November. My investment will be tesla motors since it is a fledgling concept with a business based strictly on electric cars but making a rebound after the tragic model s fire.

Blackjack

The popular casino game, now in the classroom! The class started with a handful of chips each, with many questions being asked. I already knew how to play the game, so i put on my glasses and prepared for some Blackjack. starting out wasn't very strong, but eventually i got into the swing of things. At the end, i was in the running for the top spot in chip count, but kapptie edged me out with nineteen over my eighteen. jerk.

trade vs. investment

trades are when you buy a stock for short term, which are expected to increase in value after a catalyst. an investment is intended to be held onto until a certain date, typically long term. in my stock portfolio, Solar city is an investment due to steadily climbing prices and apple will be a trade after the new ipad is introduced.
