A Diverse Portfolio Wins

• Apple was our largest gainer.
• Google was our second largest gainer.
• RIMM was up 111.00 a share at one point we
  should have sold it.
• We owned Tiffany, but sold it when it took us to
  last place.

5
The Plan

• We brainstormed about products and services that
  were currently being used in the market.
• Technology
• Healthcare
• Apparel/Clothing

6
The Plan

• We then looked up the stocks we thought would
  yield us the largest returns.
• We used finance.yahoo.com, CNBC, and the Chicago
  Tribune.

Sample Research and Data Analysis
As of January 9, 2008, Google was at 632.00 a
share.

What We Learned

• Stocks are unpredictable and risky.
• Working in teams made it easy for everyone to
  create a diverse portfolio.
• Research is very important to selecting
  profitable stocks.
• At least two of our team members are more
  interested in stocks and invest since playing the
  game.
