Review of Our Portfolio: Week 1 (Oct. 12-16)
In the first week (Oct. 12-16), we still have not bought anything. We are going to invest in stocks and possibly mutual funds this week. Our starting $100,000 is now at $100,054.79 because our account is earning interest. We were thinking of ideas on what company to buy. We concluded that we were going to buy Microsoft because of Windows 7 coming out. Also we were sort of iffy about investing in Apple just because of how expensive it was. We came to the conclusion that we were going to invest in it, even though the price of the stock was so high. We figured the price would soar even more because of Christmas coming, and the lowering of the prices of their products.

ReplyDeleteBuying Microsoft was a good idea becauses the new Windows 7 is a very popular upgrade. There were lots of advertising for it. Microsoft should stay up for awhile too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, im with Trevor on the idea of "buying Microsoft was an awesome idea". They are really pushing people to upgrade to windows 7, with all the hype, and trying to pump people up for it. So, if anything Microsoft will only keep rising. good choice
ReplyDeleteI think that investing in Microsoft will really pay off. With windows coming out they should have big gains. I also think that buying Apple will pay off because if Windows 7 ends up being a bust alot of people will switch to the Macs for their operating system.
