Chapter 15's online journal is different from the other 2 online journals you have done so far. In the past, you had questions/prompts that you had to answer. It was a focused discussion.

Chapter 15's online journal is an open-ended forum for you to put down on paper your thoughts and reactions to the material in your own words. I am looking for the application of the material to the world around you; whether it be something you read on the internet or from your own personal/professional experience.

For example, did you know that companies also bought stocks of other companies? Can you apply the concept of short-term investments to other aspects of your life? Would you say pursuing your education is a type of short-term or long terms investment? Why do companies invest in other companies? Can you comment on the chapter opener?

I am looking for critical thinking and application of the material. I hope this helps.

Post comments and reflections related to the chapter here. Also, post 3 questions related to the chapter. One of the questions needs to include a journal entry and/or computation. You may also comment on the chapter opener or the ethics question at the back of each chapter. This assignment is worth 5 points. See the course calendar for the due date. You will not be able to see other students' comments until you post an entry first.

To receive full credit, you need to post comments (2 short paragraphs or more) AND 3 questions per chapter.
