Assessing a Stock

• We looked at the following information
• the highest P/E ratio
• the 52 week high/low new companies to get
  in on the ground level.
• the 1 and 5 year growth charts for each
  stock.
• We watched the Chicago Tribune for news related
  to our companies.

Reflection

• As a team, we decided that the best stocks to
  invest in would be fairly new companies that were
  branching out to new places.
• Stocks like Buffalo Wild Wings and Exelon turned
  out to be the catalysts of stocks in the ones
  that we chose. On the other hand, the other
  stocks that we purchased (Urban Outfitters and
  Thompson Ads) did not produce any profit over the
  months.
• If we were to do it again, we would chose stocks
  with similar statistics to Buffalo Wild Wings and
  Exelon.
