portfolio update
Also add a snapshot of our forum:
Update us on your portfolio results. Discuss any changes to stock selection. If you haven't made any changes to your portfolio, why not? (For any changes you wish to make, you can assume the values for both the buy and the sell order as of the close of business on day 2 as reported in the Wall Street Journal. Make sure to record the details of any simulated trades in your portfolio spreadsheet.)
Your initial post must be in your own words, be a minimum of 450 words in length, and be supported with a reference. Post at least two peer responses further discussing and exploring the materials covered this week.
The forums are for student interaction and submitting input after the end of the week serves no learning objectives and does not constitute as participation. Students should demonstrate their own knowledge in the forums and avoid copying and pasting from web sites. Responses will be graded directly from the Forums.
Make sure you are using credible sources in your discussions and assignments. Scholarly journals are the preferred source of credible/quality references. These consist of peer-reviewed articles published in academic journals related to the field, which are found via our Library. Websites such as Investopedia, ask.com, answers.com, or dictionary-type of websites limit the insight to the topics. Wikipedia is not acceptable as it is not a reliable or credible source of reference. The purpose is to bring in new information and how does it apply to our topic from a real-world perspective, instead of extending on definitions that are found in the book.
More information what a credible source consists of can be found here: http://writingcommons.org/evidence/supporting-sources/630-what-might-be-a-more-credible-reliable-source.
