Occupy Wall Street 10/24/2011
I am against the Occupy Wall Street plan because personally i think that people should be able to keep their jobs and also pay for themself. Yes the government should not pay for you and you should and eventually pay them back. Also after they get done with college and get better degrees they are going to be able to pay back those student loans.

Journal #4 10/10/2011-10/14/2011
VOCABULARY
Number of the Dow- This number is the weighted average of the stock prices.
* Dow Jones went up today because the stocks were going up.
S and P 500- A basket of 500 stocks. And it is weighted by market value.
* I looked at the S and P 500 today and it was going down.
RUSSEL 2000- A small cap stock market index of the bottom 2000 stocks.
*I checked the RUSSEL 2000 today and it went up suprisingly.
Treasury Bond- long term debt instrument issued by the U.S government.

JOURNAL
The stock that i chose to talk about in my journal this week is Wells Fargo. (WFC) I chose this stock because i use Wells Fargo as my bank. For example i have my debit card with them. Right now Wells Fargo is selling at 26.31 per share. It is also going down right now. I think that it might be a good idea to buy this stock soon because for it's 52 week high and low it goes from 22.58-34.25. It's about four dollars away from being at its low so it may drop but since christmas is coming up i think people will be running to the bank more often to get money out and stuff. Some competitors with Wells Fargo is Bank of America (BAC) Right now Bank of America is selling at 6.29 per share. There is a significany price difference between the two banks. I think Wells fargo would be a more solid company to invest in rather than Bank of America because Wells is a more solid bank and doesn't have much hidden fees.
TRANSACTIONS
A stock that i chose to purchase this week was a crude oil company. (OIL) I chose to buy this because it is very close to it's low right now. Also more oil per barrel is getting produced each day and gas prices will be going up. Right now it is trading at 21.33. I bought 400 shares of this company at that price. I believe that in about 1-2 months it should go up to about 27.00 per share because winter is coming and people need new car oil and oil is at a high demand right now.
RESEARCH
A stock that i chose to research is Dell (DELL). I chose to research this stock because i use the dell computers in school most of the time besides the iPad. I believe that to invest in Dell right now would probably be a medium risk investment. It is a solid company but it's trading right now towards it's 52 week high so i would maybe wait for the economy to go down so Dell goes down and then purchase it.

JOURNAL-
2 companies that I chose to buy are Visa Inc. (V) and also Ford Motor Company Common Stock (F). First we'll talk about the Visa Inc. (V) company. The 52 week analysis for Visa Inc. (V) is 9.32-18.97. Currently it is selling at 9.44 for share. Right now it might be good to buy this because it is towards its low. Another company that competes with Visa is Bank of America Corporation (BAC). They compete because they both deal with money. I think Visa would be better to buy because (BAC) is a lot cheaper and i think i would have a major risk on buying this stock. The other company that i chose to talk about is Ford. The 52 week analysis is 9.32-18.97. And now currently it is being sold for 9.49 for share. A company that competes with Ford is Nissan Motor Co. (NISA.BE) A better company to invest in out of these two would be Ford because they are more stable and you probably would have a low risk .
TRANSACTIONS-
I did one transaction of each. I bought 1 stock and sold another. The one that i sold is Apple (APPL.) I sold this company because it is going down regularly and i tried to get out of there as soon as i could because it was wasting alot of my money. A company that i bought is Clean Diesel Technologies Inc. (CDTI). I bought
this company because it is selling right now below its lowest 52 week analysis. So therefore i'm gonna take a medium risk and buy this as a trade. I'm going to buy this as a trade because i believe that winter is coming up and everyone will start to drive their truck again because of the icy roads so i believe that that will happen very soon.
RESEARCH-
One of the stocks that i chose to research is Deer and Company common stock (DE.) The 52 week analysis on this company is 61.63-99.80. Right now it is trading at 62.11. I believe that it would be a good time to buy this stock because it is at a low. I think it would be an average risk company because it is a solid corporation and it should go up from here on out. Another company that i chose to research is ConocoPhilliips (COP.) I chose to research this company because whenever there is not a Maverik around i will go fill up at a Conco gas station. It would be a good idea to buy this company right now because the low share is really low and that's around where it is trading right now. All you would do is pretty much make money on this stock.
