Lesson 6: Portfolio Check Up


Introduction:

It's time to take a look at your We Seed Portfolio and see how it's doing. Remember, We Seed is not about getting rich... it's about getting smart. But it's still fun to see how much fake cash you're making! In the time that you have been using We Seed, you might have made money on investments that you now think were not so smart, and lost money on investments that you still believe were absolute genius... and that is perfectly OK! The whole point of working with We Seed is to invest in what you know, learn more by doing and reading and talking, and repeat. In this Challenge, you will step back, take a look at your investments, and give your Portfolio a grade.
