HEWLETT PACKARD
Instructions
If you do not know the ticker symbol of the stock you want to invest in, go to the website finance.yahoo.com (Links to an external site.) and type the company’s name in the search box and click on “Search Finance.” If you want to review a list of possible stocks to choose, go to https://finance.yahoo.com/industries (Links to an external site.) (which lists stocks by sectors or industries).
It is assumed that you will invest $10,000 in the stock of the company you have chosen.
You should summarize the returns of your stock in a separate appendix in the following format:
Purchase price Closed on % change Current value Year to date
Name of firm Ticker symbol Amount of investment per share (10-28) 11-22 at: in stock price of investment gains
WalMart WMT $ 10,000 119.22 119.36 0.117% $ 10,011.74 27.64%
Your interim report (due February 5) should contain an introduction in which you discuss the reasons why the company interests you, a summary of the business activities it is engaged in (for example, my company, Walmart, operates a multinational chain of retail stores that sell household items, groceries, electronics, toys, and hardware, among many others), a summary of the current consensus on the company’s current performance and future prospects (to include, but not be limited to your own view) and an appendix containing a chart tracking the stock’s performance as compared to the S&P, in addition to the appendix shown above. This interim report could be up to the 8 pages designated for the final version, but less (4-5 pages) is quite ok.
The final version of the report (due March 8) will update the price data and modify the market analysis, with your final conclusions. It will also include your answers to some questions that I will furnish to you in “files”. The report should not exceed 8 pages double spaced, and it must include a page of source references. Wikipedia is acceptable, but not as your only source. Your textbook should be a source, and the Wall Street Journal and Yahoo finance itself provides many references. You may use the information you provided in your weekly discussion posts, properly referenced.
I would like for you to do this project if you want and I will request you for the rest of my assignments. I have plenty of work for you for the next couple of weeks if you want the work.
