Story
You sometimes have to take risks buying market shares, and sometimes you have to know when it's time to sell before you lose everything. This is why we propose a little puzzle, to write a program that will do the maths for us, a program in which we can invest all our trust (and money?!).
Don't worry, you won't have to be a market expert, nothing is going to crash.
