Select 20 stocks based off the investment structure you deem most acceptable. On the same day document the price of these 20 stocks. In addition to the price, determine a hypothetical number of shares you want to buy of each stock. You can keep it at 1 stock and 1 share if you wish, but you may also choose any other allocation that you find interesting. After you have selected your stocks and the number of shares, total the value of each position (Share Price x Shares), and the total value of your whole portfolio. Also, please document the value of the S&P 500 and DOW Jones Industrial Average (DOW) on the same day you select your stocks. After a few days please revisit your portfolio and update your prices to determine your overall performance. Also, please document the value of the S&P 500 and DOW.
