Section I Company Selection

PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANY ANALYSIS

I. Company Selection

Select a publicly traded company that you are interested in and complete this Section. You may not choose a company that does not have inventory and cost of goods sold. This means you cannot choose banks, financial service or investment type institutions. You may not select a company that a fellow classmate has already selected, so it is best to get this handed in as soon as you decide before the due date.

A. Yahoo! Finance

Your company selection must be a publicly traded company that trades on the NYSE, AMEX or

NASDAQ. So go to Yahoo! Finance (finance.yahoo.com), start typing the company name in the

“quote lookup” box.
