Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy First Place Division/ Second Place City Eural Black – Junior Kiara Drake - Junior Ryian Jones - Junior Sundra Smiley - Senior Sterling Wells - Senior Team Coach – Mr. Scott L. Steward M.O.B. Money Over Bankrupt
A Diverse Portfolio Wins • Tiffany - TIF • Dow Jones - DJIA • Humana -HUM • Nas Daq –NADQ • Microsoft - MSFT • Research in Motion - RIMM • Nike - NKE • Apple - AAPL • Hilton – HLT • GOOLE – GOOG – THE WINNER
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.
The Plan • We brainstormed about products and services that were currently being used in the market. • Technology • Healthcare • Apparel/Clothing
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.
Thank You Team Coach – Mr. Scott L. Steward
