Explore the Yahoo Finance website at www.finance.yahoo.com. Search for financial data for JC Penney, Co. They have more than one - you want the JCPNQ company. Review their financials and then click on their statistics as well to see the many financial ratios that they have computed for you. Next, I would like you to look up Ameren Corporation - AEE and do the same. Review their financials and their statistics and any data that you would like to peruse. You will see that JCPNQ is not doing as well as AEE. why it would be advantageous for someone to invest in JCPenney rather than Ameren. Make sure you cite the data you find on this website to support your argument.
