Week Two Transactions and Predictions.

Transaction 1
Earlier this week i realized that my apple stocks have been going down. I am using Apple as an investment company though so instead of selling it, i bought 15  more Apple stocks for $413.42. They are fairly expensive and i bought them at the higher end of the 52 week range, but i dicided to purchase because I am confident that their sales will go back up. I think Apple is a solid investment that i will want to keep. It's a popular company and releases new products often so it will prove to be a safe investment in the long run.

Transaction 2
My second transaction for this week is a trade. After learning the difference between trades and investments this week i realized that i had several companies i wanted to use as investments and wanted to look into a company that would be a good trade for me. I purchased 100 shares of Hershey Company for $59.60 each. With Halloween coming candy sales will be up and Hershey provieds a lot of different types of candy. I plan on selling about a week after Halloween. The stocks are also already up so i predict that this will be a smart trade and will result in a profit for me.

Transactions and Prediction

The transaction I am most confident in right now is Apple. I initially chose this company because of it's growing popularity. With iphones, ipods, and ipads out now i think the stocks are bound to go in the right direction. It also had a 10 out of 10 rating on MSN Moneys stock scouter so i believe i chose a good stock to invest in. So far, it has been my most reliable one. I can see it having even more of a benifit in the future as well. Our school bought ipads for every student and teacher in the school and i know other schools are doing the same, booth of my parents also own iphones and my brother and i have ipods, i believe Apple will continue to grow in popularity and the stocks will get even better. I also predict that my Microsoft stock will prove to be good. It is down at the moment but after some research ive decided to stick with it, i think the outcome will be positive for me. I have yet to decide weither or not my other investments will pay off.

9/11

Who is winning the war? I think that right now they are winning the war. That doesnt mean that we still can't, i really believe we can win. However, the war had caused many problems for our country. It has a tremendous affect on our economy because we have to spend so much more of our money. It creates even more differeng opinions among the United States people, and many citizens die fighting. Plus they are able to cause huge lasting trageties like 9/11 that still goes on ten years later. They were in a terrible state before we  came so even though we intervened, fighting and dying is normal for them so we might not have a huge effect on them like we want. So at this point, i believe that they are causing more problems for us than we are them so they are winning.
