Strayer University Week 8 FIN320 assignment, I include Paper assignment 1

The name of the marketable investment is Nasdaq 100 Index. The reason as to why I choose this marketable investment is because it is a non-financial index that contains some of the largest non-financial local and international securities. The companies listed on this index are from technological industry which is an up and coming venture in the country. Besides, technology is the backbone of our society at this time and age. I am tech savvy and the Nasdaq 100 immediately caught my attention. The index reflects companies across major industry groups that comprise of telecommunications, computer hardware and software, both retail/wholesale trade and biotechnology. Lastly, this index has been in existence for a while now since 1985. Finally, one of my favorite mobile company, Apple Inc., is listed on this index.
