In this project, you will begin learning how to identify good quality stocks by conducting a Fundamental Analysis of the company. To begin, it's important to understand a company. What does the company do? What products/services does it offer? What business is it in, meaning, what industry and sector do it operate in? To learn more about sectors vs. industry you can watch a short video here:

Part 1: Your job is to identify 3-5 companies in the same sector, but they may be in different industries. As we reviewed in class, start by thinking of companies you know; your favorite brands, places you shop, services you use, etc., and then search the sector for other companies similar to the one you chose. Write or record a brief paragraph of the company's profile, so, if asked, you can easily present information about the business. Post your companies with their profiles as a .doc or .pdf (no pages) here by clicking on the link at the top of the page.
