Stock Project (Introduction)

In order to accomplish one of the units of Economy & World Government class, each student has to become a member of QSIB stock project. To be more specific, this stock project can be explained as investing money into several stocks (usually one to three) that students will be carefully following and reading about for the next 9 months.

Before the official investment, each student needs to do some research about at least 10 companies to get a general view of how marketing works. By keeping track of these companies, students get a chance  to explore, which companies are profitable to invest in and which are not as good.

My list includes 10 well-known companies that caught my interest.

1. Microsoft
2. Nokia
3. Bank of America
4. Facebook
5. Ford
6. Pandora Media inc.
7. Disney Corp.
8. Tiffany & Co.
9. Oil
10. Gold
