- Ward decides to teach Wally a real-life lesson in economics by helping him and Beaver invest one hundred dollars in the stock market. But when the nice, solid utility stock recommended by their dad doesn't show much activity, the boys decide to take Eddie Haskell's advice and buy risky, but rising, space tech stock.—shepherd1138
- Ward tries teaching the boys about the stock market by matching their $50 and letting them invest in the market. When they want to invest in a risky stock that Eddie found, he talks them into buying into the local power company. The boys are disappointed to see their stock doing nothing while the risky one goes through the roof.—Ronny Bailey
- Wally is learning about stocks and bonds in economics class. While Ward and June try to explain to Wally the basic premise behind stocks and bonds, Ward feels that Wally and Beaver may learn more if they really did invest some money in the stock market. Wally and Beaver are each to contribute $25, with Ward matching their investment, leaving the boys $100 with which to invest. After they read the financial news, Wally and Beaver are allowed to suggest which stock they would like to purchase. On Eddie's advice, Wally and Beaver choose a high risk speculative over the counter stock. As Wally and Beaver's decision doesn't use the common sense Ward wanted them to use, Ward instead convinces them to purchase a more reliable utility based stock. When their stable reliable stock makes little movement, the high risk stock they wanted to buy starts to climb quickly. Despite likening the two stocks to the old story of the tortoise and the hare, Ward and June may have to face the pressure of the boys wishing they had purchased the high risk stock instead. But with high risk comes the possibility of big failure.—Huggo
