Description
Imagine that you are a potential investor researching a U.S.
investment of your choice. Your choice can be any investment that is
highly marketable, which means that you must be able to sell it at a
market price very easily. Publically traded stock, corporate bonds,
government bonds, real estate, mutual funds, and derivatives are all
examples of highly marketable investments.
You will be required to
collect financial statements and /or relevant financial information that
detail(s) the past three (3) years (fiscal or calendar) of the chosen
investment. (These statements can usually be located within the
organization’s Website under “investor information” or something
similar. Many times, these statements can also be found on Yahoo!
Finance, Google Finance, MSN Money, or Hoovers.)
You will also be
required to research your chosen investment’s price for the past five
(5) years, as well as a related market index for this investment for the
past five (5) years. An example of an applicable market index is the
Standard & Poor’s Stock Market Index, commonly called the S&P
500.
