Transaction: I bought 200 more shares of the Stillwater Mining company, and 100 more shares of Pandora media. I bought more of these stocks because of their rise in value, and have had extremely good luck with Pandora. Over the week, it had a 27% increase in value, and has dropped slightly but has not fallen far enough to affect my portfolio. I believe that the value of the stock will go up because more music may be listened to on the site in the winter when not many activities are available. The high in the 52 week cycle of Pandora was $9.33, and the high was $26.00. Pandora is in the entertainment catagory, providing customers with a radio station they create and personalize to their taste.
This is really good, you have most information down. You don't really have anything about their competitors and you aren't really focused on just one company, which is alright I think, but you should include all the information for every one, like how Stillwater Mining is doing now, compared to how they were before.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Brandi. Yu had good information about the stocks tht you have bought. I would write a bit more about the competitors too. Very good detailed job on the vocabulary. Also what you expect the stock to go up to I would write a money amount that you think it will go up to. Good job
ReplyDeletegood info on your transaction and on Pandora!
ReplyDeleteGreat information really good job
ReplyDeleteWho r the competitors? You need a firm dollar prediction.
ReplyDeletei agree with Brandi but you need to predict a price and put that up as well. also you could talk about the competitors and how their stocks are doing compared to Pandora. and good way to use the 52 week information.
