WEEK 3 STOCK JOURNAL

STOCKS	1	2	3
Name	Apple	Amazon	Accenture
Reason for Selection	I love the products of Apple. I have used its iPhone and iPad and I really like them. They are doing well and will continue to do in future as technology improves and penetration of handheld devices increases across the globe.	I have brought some products on line using the platform of this company. My experience was good. Amazon has ousted Microsoft to become the largest company in terms of market capitalization recently. I am quite sure this company will do quite well as internet penetration improves across the globe.	I have heard a lot about the management consulting. Technology and outsourcing platforms of Accenture. They have growth platforms quite relevant to the industry. Their advisory services to the client are excellent. The company is nearly debt free and has strong financials.

This is the week you have been waiting for to see if you are walking home a pretend millionaire, or whether you would be finding a side job to recoup your losses.

For Week 10, review your investment for the last time. You must:

1. Record the current price of the stock for each company you selected in Week 3s Stock Journal. You may use any price during this week (e.g., day one price, the opening, the low, the high, the close, or any price you find when you check it during the day). Using a MS Excel spreadsheet or MS Word document, put your Week 8 and Week 10 stock prices side-by-side, to show the comparison.
2. Determine the total value of your investment.
3. Provide your final opinion / assessment of your investments. Did you make money or lose money? Discuss your results and, based on hindsight, describe what you would do differently.
4. Discuss what you learned from this assignment. Do you believe this assignment will help you in the future in any way?
