Am really happy as I’m satisfied with my investment as I see in the long run it will have much returns. Based on the quote summary section for stock risk assessment at the NASDAQ for (KSS) Kohl's Corporation, the company scored 195 out of 400 for (TGT) Target Corporation scored a 118 out of 400 and (PEP) PepsiCo Corporation scored a 76 out of 400. The score of 0 shows no risk, and anything over 700 is considered extremely high risk. In terms of risk assessment metrics, Kohl's Corporation has an average risk while Target and PepsiCo has a small risk. So, overall return and the trend is satisfactory as all the three companies of the portfolio have strong fundamentals and there are high chances of increased return in the long run. Due to this it makes me satisfied with my investment.
On the basis of what causes stock prices to fluctuate, as we all know market forces causes stock prices to change every day. Due to this share prices are determined by supply and demand. If the demand of a stock is high than its supply, meaning more people are willing to buy a stock than sell it, then the price increases. On the other hand if supply exceeds demand for a stock then the price of the stock will fall. (Investopedia, 2016)
