We are going to sell Mc donalds because it is really not doing well. It is making 13.98 cents in unrealized gains and loses. When we first bought Mcdonalds, it was doing good and if I was buying it today there would be no way I would buy it.

As a group we decided to look at the Timberland Company. Though it is doing well we decided that we would not buy it. Opening at 14.49, its daily high is 14.96 and its daily low is 14.48, the stock is now up 1.75%. According to recent news TBL will be launching their new Timberland Boot Collection for women in the fall.
In comparison to the Timberland Co., Nike is doing very poorly. Its opening was at 55.32, its daily low was 54.21 and its high was 55.66. The stock is now down 46%. We definitely would not invest in this stock because we feel as though it will make our investment decrease.

I will not buy Buffalo Wild Wings Inc because it has majorly decreased since its last stock activity. Its recent price is 36.82 and the past one was 44.98 clearly showing that it is not improving. On MSN money, according to a chart on the price history, the company has had many ups and downs but currently it has dropped to a -2.22. Furthermore, Alyce Lomax's article You are bold buffalo wild wings describes they are not impressed by the stocks fall and the horrible conditions of the stock. If I were to buy this stock, my team would loose a lot of money. [BETSAIDA REYES D-BAND]

Restaurant

The restaurant I chose was called Caribou Coffee Co Inc. It is a specialty retailer in coffee, teas, bakery goods and other related merchandise. It has 511 coffeehouses, including 97 franchised locations, located in Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Wisconsin, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Nevada, Indiana, Nebraska, Washington, D.C and international markets. The recent price history includes the 52 week high of 3.97, the low of 1.10 and an Average Daily Volume of 22,757. In the last 3 months the price change was 144.3 %, the last six months: 118.0% and in the last year: 42.2%.
This stock is very interesting. At the moment I would invest some stock in this company due to its monetary increase. Because I am new to the company I will only invest in a few stocks and see whether or not this will benefit our company.

What's Goin' On???!!!!

I recently bought 100 shares in Google. At the moment it does not seem to be living up to expectation. It has been going done and causing my company to lose money. I have not yet decided whether I will be buying or selling these shares of Google stock. Instead I will hold on to the stock and see what it does in the near future... If it continues to go down we will have to let it go.

I am researching a mid cap company and specialty eateries. I am researching the Panera Bread Company. The Panera Bread Company has a yearly high of 65.33 and a yearly low of 34.22. Th recent price history of the Panra Bread Company is at 57.93 which is not that good comparing to the yearly high. As of December 30, 2008, the Company operated, directly and through area development agreements with 39 franchisee groups, 1, 252 bakery-cafes (527 Company-owned and 725 franchise-operated, bakery-cafes). According to recent News I read that panera expects to increase 15 to 22 percent. The Article I read is called ''Panera's Burnt toast. I would not buy Panera Bread Company because the recent price history is not close enough to the yearly high which means that this stock must be decreasing. If the stock is later to become more active an starts to increase I will consider buying it but at the moment I would not.
