Okay
For today, after watching the demo on how to use all of the tools of Virtual Stock Exchange, you will purchase your stocks, if you have not done so already. You will need to purchase a total of 4 different companies, the number of shares will depend on the price per share. You don't want to purchase more than $25,000 worth of any company. So if a share price is at $10.00, you will purchase a total of 2500 shares to make it at $25,000.
Now for what you will have to post here as a comment for a grade:
Please explain why you purchased your different stocks, three-four sentences per company. If you purchased a company's stock before the demo because it went up the most that day for that sector, than share that information. You will be graded on how well you are able to justify why you purchased the stock though.
This is very unpredictable, and there are many factors that can make the market go up and go down.

For my four companies to invest in, i invested in Mcdonalds, Silver Wheaton Corp, Sony, and First Solar Incorporated.
ReplyDeleteI invested in Mcdonalds because it is a very widely known fast food restaurant, though it is risky, i didn't invest all too much into it, it was more of an experiment and i shall invest more into it quite soon because the trend is upward. I invested in silver Wheaton corp, because it was at a very low value when I bought it, and it now seems that it was a very smart investment, an it increased by 500 dollars in equity. Sony is a graphics/electronics giant, and it seemed like a good idea to invest into it, so far it has paid off, granting me another 600$ in equity at this point, i will try to ride it out to see how much i can make. The first solar corporation was the first mistake i made, losing me 600$ in equity, however the trends seem to be in my favor, and I am hoping to regain all the lost money.
I decided to invest into four major companies in the United States. The first that I chose was Chevron because I feel that anything in the fuel business is very profitable. After all, cars will these days will always need gas. The second that I chose to invest in is Microsoft. Mainly because I fell that it has a bright future. Although apple is becoming very popular Microsoft is developing new technologies which I feel will make it a profitable industry. in addition I also invested in Google because its doing better now more than ever. Google is very popular and continues to be. And finally I chose to invest in McDonald's because it has become a billion dollar corporation, with an abundance of food chains in the United States alone. I feel that I made a wise decision by investing in this particular company.

These are the companies i decided to invest in:
ReplyDelete1.Microsoft-I chose microsoft because a lot of people use microsoft. It is very popular with everyone.
2.Chevron-I chose chevron because it is very popular. We rely on cars and cars need gas to run. Although gas prices go up, i think people will still use cars.
3.McDonalds-I chose McDonalds because no matter the economy many people will still eat there.
4.Google-I chose Google because it is a billion dollar corporation. It grows every year, and many people use it.

ReplyDeleteI decided to buy my four stock to make my money, because I can see their buying price are not too high, but their book value are high as around $20. And their Price/Book of valuation ratios are under 1.

The companies I invested in were Playboy, Ross, Colgate, and Honda.I invested in playboy because it has been successful for many years. It has dropped pretty low, but has recently started to steadily incline. Playboy isn't going anywhere, and it's only a matter of time before they start becoming massively successful again.I though investing in Ross was a smart decision because in this economy, people are resorting to second-hand stores to buy things. Ross was a popular store before the economic downturn, and chances are it's low prices will make it even more popular in these times. Colgate seemed like a good choice because people aren't going to stop brushing their teeth. Also, how you present yourself to an employer is important, and clean teeth is a must. Plus people aren't going to stop dating or kissing, in which toothpaste plays an important role. Lastly, I invested in Honda because now is the time to buy cars. Honda has a lot of fuel efficient cars, which save people money on gas.

The four stocks I decided to buy were Ford Motor Companry, Marckwest Energy Partner L P, Office Depot Inc, and Alcoa Inc. I bought Marckwest Energy Partner L P, Office Depot Inc, and Alcoa Inc because their buying price are not too hight, and their Price/Book of valuation ratios are low as around 0.5. The reason for I bought Frod Motor Company is that now, most families in the United State must have two cars or more. so, I think that this stock deserve to buy. These are the reasons why I decided to buy those stocks.

The stocks that chose were different mostly in the consumer.Every American buys things that they need or want.They Tobacco industry and a drug retailer and something else.
ReplyDeleteThe stocks I chose was because they looked like a good investment from my point of view and they didn't look like they were to go down. Even if it does it seems like it may just jump back up or become and average stock to invest in. I also invested in it because it had to do with electronics and most Americans still support the use of electronic devices even in the economic crises.
ReplyDeletei bought stock of jp morgan and google. i paid close attention to them and they were doing good. i think i will make some good money of those stock, because thet are still up ans running good.i also invested in sony eletronic.
