JOURNAL-
One of the two companies that i have chose to talk about is Best Buy (BBY). I chose this company because i buy some movies from them. The 52 week range for Best buy is it was at a low of 22.74 and at a high of 45.63. A competing company that i chose to compare to this one is Netflix. It's 52 week range is very low right now. So i believe that either one would be good to buy at this point. The other company that i chose to talk about is Amazon. And i chose this company because i order stuff from them online. There 52 week analysis is 151.40-244.
TRANSACTIONS-
I have bought 2 companies lately. I bought Best Buy (BBY) and Netflix (NTFX), I bought these because i looked at the 52 week range and it is at the lowest peak of the range right now so i believe that these two would be good to buy right now because i see nothing but profit on buying shares of these. Yes it may go down a bit but it will eventually go up.
RESEARCH-
I did some research on two different stocks. I did my first research on the Nike (NKE) stock and after looking at it and reviewing it i don't believe it would be a good company to invest in right now. It's very high and almost at it's 52 week range high so i believe that you would risk money and people might start buying more boots instead of tennis shoes since winter is coming. I think it would be an average risk to invest in this. Also i researched Macdonalds (MCD). Macdonalds is very close to it's high too so i believe it may be a risky idea but since it is a solid company and people love to eat there. I think it would be a good one to invest in because you probably wouldn't lose much. And i had a lot more written but somehow it got lost on the computer and i came back and it wasn't saved.
You used common sense in showing that Nike may not be a good stock because of your winter predction, and you showed that you looked at the 52 week cycle when talking about Best Buy and Netflix because you showed highs and lows. Your words have good definitions and easy to read examples.
ReplyDeleteYou did a really good job using your 52 week information when considering investing in Nike and McDonald's! I think maybe you could just use a little more competitor information in your journal but you did a good job:)
ReplyDeleteI believe you did a great job showing your understanding about the information on your 52 week cycle. I also think you could have touched down on your competitors a little more.
ReplyDeleteYou used good information on yur stocks and the 52 week cycle. Good detail and yes you could use just a little more information on the competitor side of it.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you used the 52 week information to show why you bought these stocks. I also liked how you told us that Nike might not have been the best investment. You could maybe put information on how their competitors are doing though.
ReplyDeleteHow much the stocks were and how they are better than competitors would be good things to add to the information on your stock transactions.
