*Please note that there are only 12 items required, and nobody is responsible for simulating a $100,000 investment in the stock of the chosen company. No additional points will be awarded for including this information, and none will be deducted for not including this information. I purposely chose a company that was NOT among the 500 listed....the one I chose was # 542, but the information is still relevant and easily available. There is no reason to make the project harder than it is or to waste a bunch of time trying to find the information. Therefore, I suggest you follow the techniques identified within this video to help you complete the necessary research in a timely and judicious manner.

provides a variety of information on the corporation and often includes the corporations financial statements. In addition, the New York Stock Exchange Web site (www.nyse
