move on to the next part of my project
The three stocks that I would like to choose are:
Microsoft Corporation (MSFT)
Apple, Inc (AAPL)
Starbucks Corporation (SBUX)
The other two investments that I choose are:
Wells Fargo Special CD 58 month term at .60% APY
Wells Fargo Money Market Savings at .03 APY
The Money Market Savings will be the most affected by the interest rates as they change. This is because the rate is adjustable as the interest rates within the economy change.
Most Risky to Least Risky
5. Starbucks
4. Apple
3. Microsoft
2. Money Market Savings
1. Special CD
Starbucks is the most risky because their product is the most likely to be affected by recession economic issues. This can cause their stock price to vary greatly. Apple is number four because they have all of their eggs in one basket per say, if the iPhone or iPad does not continue to do well, the company would be in serious trouble. Microsoft is less risky because they are better diversified than Apple. The Money Market is more secure than any of the stocks but the rate can change which makes it more risky than the guaranteed percentage on the special CD which is the most secure, and best deal.
