1. Why did you pick these companies? (at most one page, detailing what the company does, who is the competition, what is their product and a general introduction to the company.)

2. What return would you have gotten if you had purchased 100 shares of each on the first day of your record (1/22/21) class and sold them around 5/3-5/21.

3. What was the historic high and low of each from the date the stock was first issued or the earliest point you can find of record (not for the time frame of the class) What would have been the profit if you had purchased them at the lowest point in the stocks history and sold them at the highest point in the stocks history NOT the time you have owned it but from the first recorded price you can find?

4. Do they pay a dividend? What would you have earned in the past year with the dividend on the 100 shares? What is a dividend and why is a dividend important? 5. What are the analysts saying about each of these companies should you buy, sell or hold? What would you do and why? (you can find analysts reports on most financial websites) 6. How does the return compare with the 10-year Treasury bond yield average over the semester (is it higher or lower?) Which would you choose to invest your money in and why? This is related to risk vs. reward.

7. What are the key economic concepts you have you learned through this assignment and class and can apply to your life - In detail with examples.
