Investment Analysis Problem

Fall 2019

 

Your Godfather, an investment expert, decided to give you a unique gift for Christmas:You can keep any profit you make from investing in 4 separate stocks and 1 savings account, between now and Christmas.   You choose how to invest his money, but you must buy 4 stocks and put savings into 1 bank account.

He will give you $1000 to invest as you choose, but you must

(1) show him your investment on the close of business the first Friday in September

(2) show him your investment and its value on the close of business every Friday during the investment period, and

(3) show him your ending investment results on the close of business the last day before Christmas.  

You may keep any profit but you must pay him back his $1000 on that last Friday.

How will you do this?   What is the best way to keep track of all this?What is the best way to invest?   Will you make money?   What was your best investment vehicle?

NOTE: All of this work (answers to questions, investment details, results, etc) will be reported in Google Classroom Assignments.
