Stock Investment Analysis: Canadian Tire

After the 8 Days, we had this project for I ended up losing money, as I lost $3.30 in total, which is unfortunate as the first two days I managed to earn a fair amount of money considering the limited time period we were given. I feel that if we were given a longer period to record the stocks our results would have been more significant.

The worthiness of Each Stock:

Canadian Tire:

I invested in Canadian Tire because I predicted that because of the seasonal change that consumers would be intrigued and influenced to purchase many winter-related products to prepare for the upcoming season and that would increase the number of sales. I also noticed that in preparation for winter seasons stock prices of Home Improvement retailers increase.

Cineplex:

I decided to invest in Cineplex because of the upcoming releases of new movies consisting of the likes of the new Justice League and Marvel movies, and that because of overwhelming demand and, hype for these movies that the number of sales, box office revenue, and concession purchases would increase the stock prices and in turn I would make a profit.

Scotiabank:

I invested in Scotiabank was also seasonal as they offer promotions towards new accounts and membership benefits that also benefit Cineplex, so I would have both companies profiting from a consumer transaction/purchase.

Cineplex:

The numbers and graphs show that during the release of certain movies there were spikes on the stock prices, as you can see the gradual increase to the upcoming release date and I believe that the release of movies plays a massive part in the company's stock trends.

Scotiabank:

The graphs and charts displayed that the company’s stock prices took an overall gradual decrease over the time period which may describe consumers not realizing what the company offered or just was ignored, and was shadowed over larger companies.

Rogers:

I was quite surprised too as why Rogers would decrease over the time period as I thought that because of the promotions and deals that they would be an overall increase, but my reasoning to as why it dropped is that large investors may have jumped ship before the Black Friday week because theoretically the company would be losing money because of the discounts but attempting to break even/profit from the number of customers gained.
