You can find resources to research your stock on the internet or in the Wall Street Journal. Helpful websites are: nyse.com, nasdaq.com, bloomberg.com, dowjones.com or fool.com. You can, also, use information in the financial chapters of our Introduction to Business book.

Track these stocks from .  Record your stock changes three times a week. You will need to create a worksheet/spreadsheet to keep track of your current stock price on three different days of each week, throughout the semester.

 Keep close to the range of your $25,000, but you may have a number that is slightly off, since you are buying “shares.”   I, also, want a front cover summary page for your stock’s performances and your wins/losses. In other words, provide a summary/analysis of your project.

 You need to track the dates of your investments, total amount invested, company name, company ticker symbol, total number of shares, and gain/loss. You will be graded on tracking the stocks, not if you gain or lose i.e. (if you make a profit or not.)

Project is worth 100 points if you do a GOOD job! It will be counted as a test for the finance and accounting chapters
