The 7 stocks that I chose were, American Eagle, General Electric, Tanger Outlet, Procter & Gamble, Nestle, Microsoft Corporation, and Sprint Corporation. Some of the stocks I chose were for the some reasons and others were for different reasons. I chose American Eagle because I buy clothes from there and their stock seemed to be doing alright. The reason I chose General Electric because it is a technology company and technology is taking the world by storm recently. I chose Tanger Outlet because they just recently built a new one near where I live. The reason I chose Procter & Gamble because Tanner was doing it and it seemed like a good choice. I chose Nestle because I like their chocolate milk. I chose Microsoft Corporation because
For example I immediately bought Disney, Apple, and, Amazon before anything else, due to the success I knew each of these companies have had in the past. After running out of companies I knew had stock on the exchange, I started doing research on stocks I might want to purchase. This was especially necessary for mutual funds, which prior to starting the stock market game I had very little to no knowledge about. I found that in the long run, the stocks that I had the most success with were stocks that I had had some previous exposure to. Amazon especially was a great success.
Procter & Gamble Co is an American global consumer goods company. P&G have various products that range from personal hygiene products to household products.
In the beginning of the stock market game I bought only stocks in only 5 different companies, those companies were all companies that I was familiar with. The five companies were Apple, American Eagle, Costco, Disney and Hershey. I bought Apple stock because who doesn’t think of Apple when they think of big companies with a lot of money.
The Wal-Mart company was established on July 2, 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas (History Timeline). The company was based on the vision of Sam Walton, who believed in giving his customers the lowest prices, anytime, anywhere. By 1967 the Walton family owned 27 different stores, and in 1969 they officially incorporated, becoming Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Just a year later in 1970 Wal-Mart went National, proving the wide spread appeal of Sam Walton's beliefs (History). This same year Wal-Mart became a publicly traded company, with its first shares priced at 16.50. A short year later the company was listed in The New York Stock Exchange (History Timeline). The 80's were a major success for this company. In 1983 the first Sams Club opened, this was and still is a store that sells product in bulk to small businesses and individuals. In 1988 the first Wal-Mart Super center opened. The Super center combined a full scale supermarket with general merchandise to create one stop shopping convenience (History). In 1992 the company suffered a hard hit when Sam Walton passed away at the age of 74. Although they lost the man at the heart of the company they were determined to carry on with his vision, and so they did. In 1996 they opened their first stores in China (History Timeline). By 2002 they reach the top of the Fortune 500 ranking of Americas largest companies. In 2012 Wal-Mart celebrated 50 successful years of business. Today the company employs 2.2 million associates worldwide and serves

Hey guys, hope you’re all enjoying your placements. They sound great! I mentioned last week that the Network sent out a newsletter for artists to submit their artwork for three desired, upcoming events: Bridgepoint, Capital One, and Bowsart. We extended the deadline because we were not receiving enough submissions. Bridgepoint is only open to members of the Network, but Capital One is open to artists and other non-members. Thus far, we have received much more submissions for the Capital One event. Location is key. Capital One is set in a corporate building and can generate more cliental. My task was to transfer each artists’ submission from the website into a document for the board. An artist can submit up to three images for each event. For example, only 8 pieces of artwork are selected by a jury to be showcased at Bridgepoint and CapitalOne.
The stock I chose was Macy’s Inc., since during the month of July they were doing great and each stock was worth $24.20, highest it’s been for the past 3 months. While having to look at the changes on the stock for almost a month, I noticed that the price per stock was lowered each day after I chose to “buy” part of the stocks. The lows aren’t too low while the highs were always above 1%.

The stocks I brought were growth stocks, values stocks, and income stock. Investing in growth stock will allow my share within the company to be more profitable, because the companies’ profits are reinvested creating a substantial amount of cash flow within the company. I brought value stock, because there are companies that I believe will be worth investing in for their long-term growth. I could diversify between different companies ranging from most popular to unpopular. Finally yet importantly income stock, which will gradually grow during my time horizon to offset inflations within my stocks. Purchasing these three types of stocks will allow me to split up my initial $100,000 fund into the industries I am going to invest in.
I do feel that my fellow classmates should consider investing in Apple. This company has provided most of my profits. Apple is a huge company worldwide and is selling products that people need and want for a while. Our society today is focused on technology and is constantly changing and upgrading. Apple is keeping up with these changes and people are buying their products. This company is growing and has been a great investment for me so far. This is a stock choice I would suggest others to look at and invest in. Starbucks has also grown over the past few weeks, which is why I would suggest investing in this stock as well, but for Wal-Mart, it has not grown as much as I had thought. It is growing slowly, but I would suggest the other two stocks before this one. These stock choices
