Walmart and dollar tree

1. Name of the two stocks your purchased.

2. What was the purchase price on the day you purchased the stocks?

( You can see when you “purchased” the stock by looking in the Discussion section where you posted this information in the beginning of the semester.)w

3) how much money did you invest in each stock?

(Purchase price X 100 = investment) For example, if you purchased shares in Wal-Mart for $50.00 a share and you purchased 100 shares, you invested $5,000. Assume that you purchased 100 shares of each stock you chose.

4.What was the closing price of stocks during the last days prior to writing your report?

(Check Google or Yahoo finance for this answer.)

5) how much money did you make? Or how much money did you lose?

So for example, let’s say that you purchased Wal Mart stock for $50.00 a share. You purchased 100 shares. You invested $5,000. Let’s say that right before the project is due, you check the price. The WalMart stock is now $53.00 a share. If you sold on that day you would get $5,300. (In real life you would have to pay taxes and broker fees, but we won’t discuss that now.)

So you subtract what you sold the stock for ($5300-purchase price- $5,000) so you made a $300 profit.e
