Week 4(:

WHAT IS THE S AND P 500: An index of 500 stocks chosen for market size; it is meant to reflect the risk/return characteristtics of large cap companies.
The S and P 500 is currently up .35%,
WHAT IS THE RUSSELL 2000: An index measuring the performance of 2000 small cap stocks in the U.S.
The Russell 2,000 is currently up 1.22%.
TREASURY BOND: A marketable, fixed-interest U.S. government debt security with a maturity of more than 10 years.
My ancesters left me a treasury bond so I could go to college and live a fullfilled life.

INFLATION: Rising and falling of prices.
The risk of a stock also has to do with the level of it's inflation.


Transaction: I bought 6,500 stocks of AMR (AMR Corporation Common Stock) at $2.76 per stock. It is now selling for $2.96. Since I bought this stock two days ago, I have made $1,300. I bought this stock because it's 52 W range is 1.75 - 8.98 so it has plenty of room to grow. It's competitors, Delta Air Lines and United Continental Holdings costed alot more and had a much smaller gap between the highs and the lows. Also, I predict this stock continue to go up and reach around four or so dollars per stock in the next month.

    You mentioned the competitors and gave a little information on them but it didn't tell me much about them. Also, be sure to mention a catalyst if its a trade and if not why it's an investment.

    I like how you mentioned why you bought it and how you compared it to the competitors. You might go a little bit more in depth of what sectors it falls into and what those sectors do or don't do for it.

    You really did good on telling us why it was a good reason that you bought this stick and how much it has earned you. I would recommend that you talk more about the sectors but other than that good job.
