Welcome to this presentation from the Duke Ellington Elementary Team Alexandria Bush Fonisha Pitchford Denzel Moore Travis Harrison LaNaisha Hobbs We hope you enjoy it “Our Strategy for Investing in 2006”
Buy and Hold • Do your homework. Plan your way in AND your way OUT! • Never Buy or Sell unless you can explain why! • Make connections between what you learn and what you already know. • The key is not knowing when to buy, but knowing when to sell! Remember, you only make or lose money when you sell. • Use insider trading reports as a guide.

What did not work • Vonage • Too soon after the IPO. Wait for more history and PROFITABLE QUARTERS. • Southwest Airlines • It's an airline! Those things are like poison. • OIL • Volatile, but always growing due to increased global demand. Vonage Holdings 0.7%. • Armored Holdings • Defense contractors are only as good as their long-term contracts. Doubts about the war have caused a sell-off, resulting in lower stock price.
