Assignment 3

1. Indicate the companies you are investing in: Please use your knowledge and experience and select three (3) US companies that are publicly traded. Make sure you are practicing good diversification. Jim Cramer, Money Manager, on CNBC, plays a game at the end of his show called "Am I Diversified." Check out a short clip to get a sense of industry diversification at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3lDxexupcE .

2. Sources of Information: There are many ways to find such companies and the stock prices, including the New York Stock Exchange at http://www.nyse.com , Google Finance at http://google.com , NASDAQ at http://www.nasdaq.com , and http://finance.yahoo.com .

3. Indicate the amount you are investing in each company: Decide how you will divide $25,000 across the three (3) companies; e.g. $10,000 in Company 1, $10,000 in Company 2, and $5,000 in Company 3. You decide the amount you are investing in each company. You do not have to provide any analysis to justify your decisions. You must only provide some reason for picking that company. For example, you might invest in Ford because that company gets a lot of your money and you hear that Ford is doing well, and will continue to do well.

4. Indicate the number of shares you are buying, and the price of the shares you are buying for each company: Once you decide the companies and the amount for each company, determine how many shares you can buy. If Company 1 is selling for $42.16, then you may buy $10,000/ $42.16, or 237.19 shares. But you cannot buy a part of a share, so you decide to buy either 237 or 238. In this example you buy 237 shares, at $42.16 per share, investing $9,991.92. You won't be able to buy exactly $10,000, or $5,000, or $25,000, but it will be relatively close.

Assignment 7

Complete the following homework scenario:

· Bob and Lisa are both married, working adults. They both plan for retirement and consider the $2,000 annual contribution a must. First, consider Lisa's savings. She began working at age 20 and began making an annual contribution of $2,000 at the first of the year beginning with her first year. She makes 13 contributions. She worked until she was 32 and then left full time work to have children and be a stay at home mom. She left her IRA invested and plans to begin drawing from her IRA when she is 65. Bob started his IRA at age 32. The first 12 years of his working career, he used his discretionary income to buy a home, upgrade the family cars, take vacations, and pursue his golfing hobby. At age 32, he made his first $2,000 contribution to an IRA, and contributed $2,000 every year up until age 65, a total of 33 years / contributions. He plans to retire at age 65 and make withdrawals from his IRA. Both IRA accounts grow at a 7% annual rate. Do not consider any tax effect.

· Write a two to three (2-3) paragraph summary in which you:

. Create a chart summarizing the details of the investment for both Bob and Lisa.

. Explain the results in terms of time value of money.

Assignment 9

Complete the following homework scenario:

· Select one (1) U.S. publicly traded company and review its most recent Annual Report. (You may use one (1) of the three (3) companies you selected for your Stock Journal assignment.)

· Use the Income Statement and Balance Sheet to determine the changes in:

· assets, liabilities, and equity

· total revenue and net income

· Briefly describe the change from the current and prior years in each of these key areas and determine if the changes would be positive or negative from an investor / stockholder's view.

Assignment 10

You may be following your stock every day, but if you're not, for Week 8 you must:

1. Record the current price of the stock for each company you selected in Week 3’s Stock Journal. You may use any price during this week (e.g., day one price, the opening, the low, the high, the close, or any price you find when you check it during the day). Using a MS Excel spreadsheet or a MS Word document, put your Week 3 and Week 8 stock prices side-by-side, to show your comparison.

2. Determine the current value of your total investment. Do not make any changes to your investment at this time. Calculate your total based on the number of shares and the new price per share, for each company.

3. Provide your opinion / assessment of your investments. Evaluate the results of your current investment. Are you happy with the result and the trend? Are you upset because you’re investment is worth less than $25,000? Feel free to speculate / guess at why you believe the stock increased, decreased, or remained static.

Your final journal assignment will be to report the final value of your shares in Week 10.
