XA : Now you're going to imagine that you invested $1,000 in a company one year ago,
and you want to see how well your investment would be doing today.
To begin, choose a company that you're familiar with and that seems as if it
might be a good investment - that is, a company that you think will have rising
stock prices. Think about companies that you use or know are popular.
Remember, not all companies are public companies. You'll need to check the
New York Stock Exchange to find out if you can actually buy shares in this
company
Once you've settled on a company, find its stock price from one year ago and for
today.
Write a journal entry about your imagined investment. Answer the following
questions as you write.
1.
What stock did you buy?
2. Why did you think buying this stock would be a good idea?
