Pick a company that no other student has presented, calculate and report the percentage increase or decrease in stock price - AKA rate of return, (for the past 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years, with your conclusions about the company's trends . . . Six points for your original post and three points for responding to a classmate's post with a comment that adds value to the discussion. If a compadre got it wrong, tell them . . . but kindly . . . (smile) And, if they are right, maybe you could comment on what this means - trending toward positive or negative, etc, etc.

PS Try finance.yahoo.com for info on stock values for those periods of time. And, please put the company name & ticker symbol in the title of your post. Thanks!!

PSS Rate of return is about how much has the stock changed from that period (1 year ago, 5 years ago, etc etc) until TODAY. Don't confuse your classmates by tackling the problem some other way... Show the stock values at those earlier dates, so others can follow your calcs...

Mine is General Motors. Here is the format:

Rate of Return =[(Current Value-initial value)/initial value] x 100

Current value = $37.64

1 yr =

5 yrs=

10 yrs =

Based on my calculations, General Motors rate or return continues to increase/decrease as the price of increases/decreases.
