But you now see an opportunity to do more with the money during the month between now and the start of the next semester. You are convinced that Electric Arts which sells for $20 per share is a great buy, however, you can’t afford to have less than $18,000 by next month or you won’t be able to pay for enough courses to graduate (you’ll eat a lot of spaghetti and save $2000 in expenses if you have to).
