Week 1 Discussion 2

1.2 Discussion

This discussion closes at midnight on Sunday evening.  Initial post is due.

Welcome to the Franklin Pierce Investment Club

As a class, we are going to follow a portfolio of stocks of US publically traded companies. I would like everyone to choose two companies that they will become the class experts for. You will need to follow these stocks and the stock market over the next 12 weeks and give updates on their performance through the weekly threaded discussion that will devoted to this topic. Please be sure to pick stocks from two different industries and companies that you are somewhat familiar with, or have an interest in. Make sure that one of your choices is company that is not performing well or is having serious problems. Be sure you can justify why your company is not doing well. This justification will have to have a quantitative basis, such as falling revenue, lack of profits, etc. Use financial data to back up your choice.   Choosing a company like Apple or Google does not qualify and do not choose a company that is already in bankruptcy. Over the coming weeks you will be expected to present financial information from these companies and you will need to obtain and become familiar with their annual reports and financial statements.

For this week's discussion, I would like everyone to present the two companies they are going to follow along with the reasons for their choice. No duplicates please so it will be "first come first served.” If you respond late, read the threads and make sure you do not choose a company that has already been selected. Feel free to comment on each other’s choices - perhaps you know something about someone else's choice and you might want to persuade them to change their selection.
