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 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.

The lows aren’t too low while the highs were always above 1%.

During the middle of the simulation My stocks were doing incredible. All of them were up! Which made me want to cash out but I decided to test my luck and see if they go up even more. Resulting in me losing money later in the simulation. My abbvie shares went up to 143.82($12 increase), my Panera shares went up to 251.26($3

Next, I invested in a popular food and beverage company, PepsiCo Inc. PepsiCo is comprised of multiple consumer segments in North America such as: Frito Lay, Quaker Foods, Aunt Jemima mixes and syrups, Aunt Jemima mixes and syrups, Quaker Chewy granola bars, Cap n Crunch and Life cereals, and Rice-A-Roni side dishes. The popular beverage segment includes beverage concentrates, fountain syrups, and finished goods such as Pepsi, Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Aquafina, etc. Since PepsiCo is worldwide, it has a handful of segments that provide consumer goods to various country and serves wholesale distributors.

Further, our strategy involved paying attention to current events and attempting to use them to generate a return. For example, Horizon Pharmaceuticals’ stock price took a nosedive after an October 19th New York Times article suggested that Horizon was attempting to thwart Express Scripts’ attempts to lower the price of prescription drugs.

Horizon came back with a scorching rebuttal in an open letter later that day, spiking its stock price more than 30% on October 23rd, and by October 28th, this move landed us our greatest return of any stock that we purchased and held until the end of the period: 18% (see appendix).
