Writing Assignment #2 - Investment Assignment
Students will be required to invest $10,000 with the objective of maximizing returns by end of semester. This is an unusually short period of time to invest but will provide a fundamental understanding of the market, compounding of interest, etc.
Students are required to submit a paper (at least two pages) supporting their investment decision. The paper should explain what type of investor they are (risk-taker, conservative) and how they decided to invest their funds. Information to support investment decisions should be provided in the form of industry information, corporate results or forecasts, etc.
If a portion of the investment is in stock, students must calculate the number of shares purchased by dividing the amount invested by the current price per share.
For example, if I wanted to invest $2,000 in a stock costing $2 per share, I would divide the $2,000 investment amount by the $2 per share to come up with 1,000 shares purchased. Be sure to attach support for your stock price to your paper. $2,000 to invest / $2 per share = 1,000 shares
Or, another way to compute: If I want to purchase 1,000 shares that cost $2 per share, I have spent $2,000, or 1,000 shares x $2.
1,000 shares x $2/share = $2,000
Papers are due on April 10.
