The company does a lot of technology work. The best stock i had was Microsoft. I bought 111 shares of it and it went up 4.41% since i bought it. I made a total of $260 off of it. This was the stock that i had originally wanted to invest all my money into but i backed out of my plan and invested into multiple stocks to decrease my risk. The reason i had invested into seven stocks was that i knew some would drop and some would gain so i wanted to balance out my money that way if one stock started doing really bad i would have another one doing good, decreasing my risk. When i bought my stocks i decided that i would just leave them alone and see how the gain or decrease. I didn't want to keep selling and buying more. This strategy didn't work out so well because my US oil stock dropped so low. i should've sold it when it was reasonable and bout something that would make me money. Later down the road that stock would make me a lot of money when the price of oil goes up and that why i think i kept it instead of selling

It has come to my attention that we are in a state uncertainty. First off, we have the United States defending the fact that U.S citizen Abel Fields has committed a crime for which he has falsely claimed for receiving a military award. Therefore, he was convicted of the Stolen Valor Act, and given a fine for which he must pay. Then we have the other party, Mr. Fields, who has claim that he is protected under the first amendment for his claim has not harmed anyone and he did not receive any valuables for his claim. Although the majority of my colleagues believe that Fields has committed a crime under the Stolen Valor Act, I still strongly believe that Fields should be convicted of his crimes however; his sentence should be changed or altered.

Further, our strategy involved paying attention to current events and attempting to use them to generate a return. For example, Horizon Pharmaceuticals’ stock price took a nosedive after an October 19th New York Times article suggested that Horizon was attempting to thwart Express Scripts’ attempts to lower the price of prescription drugs. The decision was made to buy 100 shares of stock in Horizon when its price spiraled down to a measly $14.62 per share, as we expected Horizon would do something to stop the bleeding, and historically has been a pretty volatile stock. Horizon came back with a scorching rebuttal in an open letter later that day, spiking its stock price more than 30% on October 23rd, and by October 28th, this move landed us our greatest return of any stock that we purchased and held until the end of the period: 18% (see appendix).
