Stock Market Project

You are going to pretend you have $10,000 to invest in stocks. The stocks you purchase are up to you (minimum of five companies), but keep in mind you will need to defend why you chose those particular stocks with data from your research. You must spend as close to $10,000 as possible without going over. You will also need to submit a paper "portfolio" outlining the specifics of each of the specific stocks you purchased. Once a stock is purchased, you will be able to monitor their performance and sell if necessary.

Step one: Go to . This website will allow you to browse all companies on NASDAQ. Look at all different types of companies. Try to find companies that have a strong history of success and will likely to continue having success. Make a list of the company's TICKER SYMBOLS AND NAMES you wish to invest in. You may also wish to google "penny stocks" and do some research on companies you find there.

Step two: The following information should be submitted for your final project. The items in bold print must be submitted for approval on day 1 of the project.

Company name (Ticker Symbol) What does the company do? Synopsis Initial Public Offering (IPO): Date and amount Purchase price of stock Number of shares you purchased 1 specific, data driven reason you chose this stock (history? Projections? Dividends? etc...) How much did you "sell" your stock for? Why did you sell? For each company purchased ? did you profit? Did you have gains or losses overall?

Project Menu: You may choose any of the following formats in which to submit your final portfolio. Regardless of the format chosen, all of the above information must be included for full credit. This should be a summary of all activity throughout this project.

**It is your responsibility to maintain your data in your notebook. Stating that you lost or misplaced your data will result in a zero. I cannot help you if you lose the information**

Throughout the remainder of the semester we will be checking in on our stocks often. You must maintain a log of dates, prices, sales, news, and purchases in order to provide a comprehensive summary of your decisions, rationales, gains, and losses.
