Write a six-paragraph essay analyzing the choices you made in this project. Your essay will be pasted below the rubric at the bottom of the document.
Paragraph 1 – Explanation of choices
Explain why you chose these two companies and the number of stocks that you picked for each one. Defend your choice. Why did it make sense at the time? (Use the information you researched.)
Paragraph 2 – Company #1 analysis
You are ‘selling’ these stocks today at the current price. Did you make money or lose money? What impacted the prices during this project? You must refer to the specifics of your research (including parenthetical citations) to help your reader understand why your stocks performed the way they did. You must reference at least two news articles.
Paragraph 3 – Company #2 analysis
Same as Paragraph 2, but for company #2
Paragraph 4 – Decision
Review the trend in the stock price for each company since you initially ‘bought’ them. Based on this trend and the current news you found, decide whether it would be most profitable to sell the stocks now, or if you think the earnings/losses will improve over the next week or more. Explain your reasoning in 4-5 sentences.
Paragraph 5 – What you learned
Discuss at least two things that this project has taught you about investing in the stock market. Explain yourself thoroughly.
Paragraph 6 – Biblical understanding of money
Consider what the Bible has to say about how we use our money, investing, risk, and worrying about money. How might this perspective inform how someone invests in the Stock Market? Be sure to refer to at least one specific passage.
Remember:
Your sources must be cited in MLA format both on a works cited page and with parenthetical citations.
