STOCK MARKET STOCK ANALYIS Assignment:

Investors just don’t buy stocks without thinking, they study gather information to determine which stocks will increase in value. Now before you start you need to think about what you think will be most in DEMAND by consumers and what producers will best meet those needs and wants. You need to provide a rationale “reason” for investing in that specific company. You need a minimum of 5 stocks to start and you need to provide rationales in your interactive notebook. Eventually you will need 10.

Ex.

Stock 1: NetFlix

The reason I am buying stock in Netflix, is because of our current financial situation. Families don’t have a lot of disposable income and tickets cost about 12 dollars on average, a family of 4 pays $48 not to mention the money they will spend on popcorn and soda. It is easier for families to pay $10 a month and have access to movies and a variety of tv shows from many networks. Also NetFlix has also created its own awesome shows like Daredevil, Jessica Jones and others. They may not get to see all the new movies but they will save money and most importantly TIME.

Attention: This will part of your final grade:

8 %=5 4%=1

5%=2
