This was a simulation project related to application of different tools of portfolio management. The project was applied by using stocktrak.com platform. This website provides the students and teachers with a real time simulation platform for learning the portfolio investment.

These bonds and securities were from different sectors of economy like technology industry, financial industry, consumer goods industry, services industry, health industry, industrial goods industry, utilities industry, and basic materials industry. The top performing stocks in this simulation project were Bank of America Corporation, Hersha Hospitality trust, Deans Food Company, Loews Corporation, and Pepsi Co Inc. The study also found that the percentage return on portfolio remained above the return realized on Dow Jones ETF during the timeline of the project.

Carla had received very low annual return from her investment portfolio comprising of stocks of five companies for two years. Her decision to continue holding the same portfolio of assets will be an example of:

She thought, “It’s obvious that the question of interest is the financial impact incurred relative to the benchmark of a well-managed portfolio. It was pretty clear that Martin’s portfolio had experienced significant losses. As to the data, the year-end statements are all that we need. The comparison will be easy”.

This report examined the performance of Premier Investment Limited for 2012. Firstly, the income statement and the balance sheet were recast and justified using additional information available in

I firmly remember the analyst forecasting lumber to break the highs it had made in early 2013. Although the financial diction exchanged between the two was obscure to me, the chart was a puzzle that I had to dissect further. That night I downloaded a paper trading iPhone application and began mapping out my portfolio, of course I had no clue what I was doing! Fast forwarding three months, after diligently studying trend following techniques and technical analysis, specifically Japanese candlesticks, I opened my portfolio trading my own money. For the next six months, I was moderately profitable. In August of 2015, I suffered my first catastrophic loss. To emphasize the gravity of the situation, I

You work for a financial planning organisation that manages thousands of clients’ portfolios and accounts. Recently there have been several changes in the industry that affect clients who have share portfolios. For some clients, the changes will have a negative effect on their investments while other clients will be receiving good news.

Therefore, I felt that this was the perfect opportunity to buy their stock as the anticipated iPhone 10 was about to be released, which did in fact have a rise in their stock’s price. Following my transaction with Apple, I had decided to purchase 100 shares of Ali-Baba (BABA) at $188.51 per share. Ali-Baba is a retail and technology company that sells their products at relatively low prices. I elected to buy 100 shares of Baba because the holiday season was just around the corner, and many people would be looking for a wide variety of items that they can purchase at affordable prices. While Baba’s stock has been on a gradual decline for the past year, they have doubled their profits since 2015, and I was hoping that this would result in an increase of their stock’s value. After purchasing 100 shares of Baba, I went on to invest in Tesla (TSLA), an American automaker company located in California. I purchased 60 shares of Tesla for $314.50 per share. I had purchased 60 shares of Tesla because their company’s stock was on a downward trend in comparison to their stock prices in July, which were approximately $383 per given share. Given that the price per share of Tesla seemed low relative to the prices in July, I figured that it would be an appropriate time to buy, with the hopes that their stocks would soon rise. Additionally, Tesla had just recently announced their newest vehicle, the Model 3, which is predicted to bring Tesla a great deal of

I chose these stocks because they both have a history of being relatively consistent with gradual gains throughout their stock history. Both these stocks don’t show much of a risk as they are both apart of industries that are thriving. I did not invest in these stocks during the Sifma Stock Market Game since it only has a duration of about seven months and would not work well with my long-term value investment strategy. These investments correlate with my strategy very well as they show very little risk, long term, and are undervalued at this

The stock game was the hardest game I have ever played in. With so many things on the line such as grades, competition, and making money, I have made lots of mistakes on the way but also learned a lot of good lessons about investing and business. During the explanation before the game started, I thought it was really easy to buy, sell, short and cover stocks. However, when reality was set, there were so many choices to make from what company to buy, how much to buy, and determine the right time to sell or buy the stock. I lost about 300 dollars from my 10,000 dollars portfolio. That

Over the past 6 weeks, I have watched some of my stocks do increasingly well, while others have plummeted. Overall, I ended up making a profit of $147.01 which isn’t spectacular but isn’t terrible either compared to others in the class who lost around $2,000. If I had only invested in the 90 shares of iRobot (IRBT) for 6 weeks at $48.93 a share, I would have come out with a profit of $567.31. What killed me were the 50 shares I invested in Procter & Gamble (PG) at $87.40 a share. Given that PG was such an expensive stock and that I bought so many shares of it, losing the slightest amount of money for each share left a significant impact on the amount of money I walked away with in the end.

When choosing the best gold stocks, investors need to know the stock's production growth, cash costs, sensitivity to gold prices, and "price-to-net-asset value." These metrics are the most important factors, according to Jim Cramer, host of CNBC's "Mad Money."

Adversely, among the errors I made, the first one was making a rushed decision of selling 3 shares of my Nike stock. As previously mentioned, my investment objective was growth. Therefore, I was not planning to sell any of my stocks soon. Although, any sale that results in gain is a good deal, which this was the case, now I am more conscious of when to sell a stock. If when reviewing the analysis of my research I find an error that is one reason to sell it, because I should always rely on my data. Another reason would be if the stock becomes overvalued, because it will most likely decline in the future. Also, other mistakes I made was not investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds. An exchange-traded fund is a marketable security,

After further analysis of their company news and profits which seem to have a downward tow on the company, we decided to sell our 50 shares in one go to minimize losses. While with NFLX we were keener on the use of technical analysis where we used price patterns to form trends to determine whether the stock price will rise or fall. Technical analysis is a useful method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest future activity. For example, we saw the value decrease and realized that the trend resembled a bull market. Thus, we invested and it became our biggest gains yet. We learned that we should be active investors. Patience is imperative when determining sell/buy indicators using Bollinger Bands and RSIs, however, checking our portfolio regularly is vital if you want to capitalize on the

Since the Chinese Economic reform in 1978, Chinese economy transferred from planned economy to market economy. Under the new circumstances of socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics, a large number of workers faced unemployment with the economic reforms. In the 1990s, the reforms of State-Owned-Enterprises (SOEs) enhanced the job losses and changes, causing a new noun ‘xiagang’, the laid-off workers unemployed with remained work relationships from SOEs. In comparison with the situations before 1980s, the workers’ benefits and social positions have dramatically changed. The workers no longer hold the so called ‘Iron Rice Bowl’ that guaranteed all the welfares and permanent employment. On ‘xiagang’ status, workers are helpless, depressed and confused about the future. ‘Laid-off workers in China’ has become an issue of great significance related to workforce allocation, people’s wellbeing and economic development.
