There were a lot of stocks to chose from in this project as you can go for a big company or go for a small company no matter which one you chose there is risks.The five stocks that I chose were Netflix, Audi, Heineken, Verizon, and Adidas. I chose Netflix because lots of people watching Netflix, and many of those people enjoy it and it is a fast growing company as more people are getting Netflix into their homes. The second stock that I chose was Audi, it was the second company that popped into my head. From the research that I did, it was doing all right. The third stock was Heineken and the reason that the company was chosen is because this February is near and the UEFA Champions League starts up in February and Heineken is one of the sponsors …show more content…

Verizon is another company that started out well with a good increase from week one to week two but after it had a decrease by cents but not by a lot, overall it made a profit of $12.32.

Those are how all of my stocks did, as you can see there was a big loss from the original $3000 that I started out …show more content…
Once the Audi stock would have increased I would have sold it because it is just going on downward hill towards the bottom. I also had a feeling it would not recover back to the number it was in week one. I did expect to lose money but not as fast as the stock was going down. It did make a bit of recovery in week four and that is when I would have sold. That is the only stock that I would sell because every other stock did not do as bad as Audi did. The way I would I have changed this project is by changing the type of companies we choose. Instead of choosing similar companies like three electronics, you chose one company of each type of work like one sport company, one electronic, one music, one clothing etc. To show the diversity of how certain types of companies do in the stock market. This way you can have an understanding on what type of company is
The stock price is currently 103.31, down from a recent high of 121.50. The P/E ratio is declining at 28 and beta at .67, which is expected to grow closer to 1.0.

Estimates for the 2000 fiscal year are being raised by a large majority of analyst who believe that earnings per share will increase and the stock price will reach close to 150.
Target, the nation's #2 discount chain, now operates more than 1,500 Target and Super Target stores in 47 states, as well as an online business called Target.com. Target and its larger grocery-carrying stores, Super Target, have carved out a niche by offering more upscale, fashion-forward merchandise than rivals Wal-Mart and Kmart. After years of struggling to turn around its Marshall Fields and Mervyns departments stores divisions, the discounter sold them both in 2004. Target also owns apparel supplier The Associated Merchandising Corp. and issues Target Visa and its proprietary Target Card (www.Answers.com/topic/target-corporation).
Warren Buffett is a legendary investor who now sits at the CEO position as well as Chairman and President of the multibillion dollar corporation known as Berkshire Hathaway. For convenience I will refer to Berkshire Hathaway as BH. BH is a conglomerate holding company which means that they specialize in investing across several different industries. Yahoo! Finance defines BH to be in the financial sector and their primary industry as Property and Casualty Insurance. Some of the other companies that BH owns and manages are GEICO Insurance, Helzberg Diamonds, Benjamin Moore & Co., and Dairy Queen. BH also owns large portions of stock in Heinz and Mars Incorporated. Due to the present day’s stock market volatility there would be no other better choice than to buy into Berkshire Hathaway.

The video rental industry began with brick and mortar store that rented VSH tape. Enhanced internet commerce and the advent of the DVD provided a opportunity for a new avenue for securing movie rentals. In 1998 Netflix headquartered in Los Gatos California began operations as a regional online movie rental company. While the firm demonstrated that a market for online rentals existed, it was not financially successfully. Netflix lost over $11 million in 1998 and as a result significantly changed the business model in 2000. The new strategy included focusing on becoming a nationally based subscription model and focusing on enhancing the subscribers experience on their website. The change in strategic focus has allowed Netflix to grow into the largest online entertainment subscriptions service in the United States with over 6.3 million subscribers (Netflix).
For one of my selections for buying stock, I invested into Starbucks, this company has attracted me with their wonders of different coffees, and I knew many others were interested in the very popular coffee company.

The name for this company was inspired by the character Starbuck from Moby Dick. This character was a coffee lover.
Reed Hastings, co-founder of Netflix headquartered in Los Gatos, CA, began the company’s operations in 1997 after receiving an enormous late charge from a movie rental he returned long overdue. However, Hastings had the desire to be different than traditional movie outlets; whereas, customers had to drive to the location, pay a certain amount for each movie they rented, and were given a deadline in which to return the movie. Instead of using a method established by other video markets “to attract customers to a retail location, Netflix offered home delivery of DVDs through the mail” which eventually led to a booming business towards streaming forms of entertainment (Shih, Kaufman, & Spinola, 2009, p. 3). Direct and indirect competitors, along with outside obstacles, to a greater extent present a financial threat for Netflix. As a result, Netfl...
