Lilly(Eli) & Co (LLY)
I picked this stock because it’s a pharmaceutical company, and everybody needs prescriptions regardless of the economy. This stock is right now 04/07/24, nearly at its year low. They manufacture a lot of drugs for diabetes and obesity. Those two things alone will always need to be dealt with. let’s buy 100 shares with fake money, and see what happens. Please do NOT attempt this in real life; you could risk losing everything..
We pretended to buy 100 shares.
$738.21 04/05/25 $7,380.00 to start.
$723.73 04/07/25 -44.48 $7,237.00 – loss of $445.00 it’s ok it’s early.
NEWS – turns out the Trump administration is not approving Biden’s plan to include weight loss coverage, that news is dropping the stock.
$726.24 04/08/25 +2.51 $7,262.40 – still down $117.60 a little better overall.

We bought the stock when it was very low after a hit from news that the Trump administration didn’t want to cover weight loss for folks. “Let ’em eat rice.”

I’ve always had a “system”, and in two tries it worked.
If we pretend to make money, we must pretend to pay taxes. These are considered “Short term investments” and you should pretend wiitholding about the same percentage of whatever your income tax percentage is.
