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.

Restaurants

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.

What's going On!

Currently, the previous stock that i bought, DT is not doing so well. At this point i rather leave everything alone and not buy or sell anything. I don't want to take a risk and loose all the money at once. For now the best thing to do is keep researching the stocks and see if they're going up or down.

What's Going On!

What's Going on!

I recently bought 100 shares of Wamu.I am going to buy some more shares of this stock because of its great increase and help. When I was going to buy Wamu, I was never looking to buy it until I did thorough research an looked it up well an realized how well it was doing. I decided to later buy it and now it is doing Great and I am happy I did buy it. I am going to buy more shares of Wamu so we can keep gaining.

What's Going On?

I took a look at our account holdings to see the progress of the stocks we have bought.I saw of that the stocks that I have purchased, Disney is still lowering, and there is an increase in the Darling Inc. and the Apple stock.I plan to hold on my Apple and Darling Stock, and unfortunately i sold some of my Disney stock at a lower price. I am losing faith in the company, and can only hope that the stock may still grow at this point. As for the Apple&Darling stock, the companies are doing well and I hope to see a bigger profit soon.

Goals and Strategies

I am not going to buy Burger King because it does not seem to be doing well. Burger King has been going down within the past few days. The yearly High is 18.00 and the yearly low is 17.04. Burger King has been on and off. I read an Article titled ''Food Companies:Early Glance'' and it talked about the different food companies such as Mcdonalds and other restarants and how they fell ninety-nine cents and or less/more an fell in percentage. This is the reason I am choosing not to buy Burger King. It has been decreasing as time went on and it is not doing to well but maybe in the future I will if it does better and goes up.

I am not going to buy the Sony Corporation. The Sony Corporation has declined within the past 5 days and it stayed neutral within the past day. The yearly high and low for Sony is not posted but since Sony has been declining and staying neutral im not going to buy. There were no articles available for me to read on the site but looking at the standings and earnings, I know for a fact I would not buy Sony. Sony has not been doing good and maybe in the future if it does better I will buy it. Within months it has been up and down but never stable an mostly down so I would not like to lose money so I am not gonna purchase it.We made our decision on how wo invest all our money by making sure that we make smart choices and also by buying alot of stocks but only the ones that looked like or were doing well.

i will not buy dardenrestaurant stock, because as i reseached then stock on msn money i realized that the stock has stayed almost the same for the past few weeks. i thinks it would be a big risk to invest a large amount of money on a stock that is not good.

i will not buy pax clean energy stocks because, when i saw the the history on msn money, i saw that the stock has been going up and down for the past few weeks (11.00 to 9.70 and back 11.00). it would be a major risk to invest my money on a stock that ih not consistent. i might invest in it, and not make any profit off of it

Darling International Inc.

As I was reviewing stocks, I began researching articles that discussed companies and their doings. I came across one that grabbed my interest. It was a company named Darling International Incorporated. It is a rendering company, which means they take the animal-by products,turning them into fuel for jet-fuels,tires and other products used commercially. Though the article had stated they might fall due to loss of revenue and higher energy costs, they have a annual rise of 15.85%, and the price is a low one, which means that it has promise.I have faith that the stock may rise in the coming weeks, as I believe it may be intriguing to restaurants, and more may come give their old oil to the company.I do believe I am glad for buying this stock.

Disney Stock

I think that buying the Disney stock was a wise choice,as it is a good short term stock. Soon I plan to sell it, and make a profit before the price falls again. I noticed in the past month the price has raised tremendously, and then plummet downwards again.So, I sold 100 shares of the Disney Stock and made a small profit on it. I intend to buy more stocks, and gain a higher profit.The profit I have gained was only a meager 2%,but it is a start. At first I was skeptical, because the year to date history shows it has gone down -10.18%, I am sure I can make use of buying the stock and selling it again.Hopefully, it will pick up higher.I also think it will pick up higher with people planning vacations for the coming summer.

Stock 1: I would really like to buy this stock! Google is doing absolutely amazing and is continuing to rise. Over a 5 day spam Google has risen from 370.90 to 392.24. Though it has decreased, that decrease in stock has been very insignificant. I am an active user of the Google search engine and agree that it is the best in its field. I would definitely buy this stock and believe that it will make us a lot of money

Stock 2: Though I am an active user and customer of Dell products I would not buy this stock... I believe that it is too large a stock to risk buying. Dell stock has fluctuated over the past 5 days opening at 10.55 and closing at 11.06 with slight highs and tremendous lows in between. Although I do not plan on buying Dell as of right now, I will still use their products.

STOCK 1:I chose not to buy a stock from the Sprint Nextel Corp. due to the fact that it is decreasing and seems to be doing horrible. According to msn money, its previous close was 4.29 and its current open is4.20 clearly showing the fact that it went down. Aside from that, the graph indicates that there is more of a decrease than anything else and its increase is not much of a difference than its decrease. According to a video on msn money, it states that sprint posted their $1.6B loss. The company is doing horrible right now and as a customer of sprint myself, i can say that their plans are nothing compared to their other competitors such as tmobile, etc. Buying a stock from sprint will result in us loosing a lot of money so therefore that would not be a smart choice.

STOCK 2: The stock in charge of T-Mobile, Deutsche Telekom ADR (DT) seems like a successful stock and i will buy it. First off, according to msn money, its previous close was 12.43 and its recent opening was 12.47 cleary showing that there was an increase. The graph on the website indicates that lately there has been a major boost in the stock. There has been a 2.70% income growth so the company seems to be doing very well which is an advantage for our team because we can gain a lot of money. This stock seems risky but then again all stocks are risky the point is to stay well researched and out of luck either loose a lot of get a lot. By the looks of DT, we will be making money.

- The methods that our group came up with to make such decisions is that we discuss the stock and its advantages and then look at the disadvantages. If the argument seems to make sense and shows that we will prosper, we agree to buy the stock. It is all about team work and working together to pursuade one another.
