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.

PLA - Playboy Enterprises
ReplyDeleteI chose Playboy Enterprises because they have been a stable corporation for years. With the current economic situation it is only expected that it would have a downfall, though PLA seems to be doing fine as is.
GOOG - Google
Google was maybe a mistake in purchasing, but either way I think Google will pick itself up in the future. Google is also one of the most recognized search engines in the world, therefore that is why I chose Google.
JACK - Jack In The Box
Jack In The Box has good Breakfast Jack's. The key to a good day, is a good breakfast.

ReplyDeleteThe stocks i chose were LEAP, CFK, SWKS, and SNE. I chose SWKS because it is an alternative resource company, and it is what we need in this economy. Then i chose SNE because it is a home entertainment company, which most people will always go to buy. And the rest I chose because they were under new management, and they promised better stocks.
