Future Investor

Hello All,

1. I really had so much fun with this assignment. My first stock that I picked was Microsoft (MSFT-NASDAQ). I bought shares starting out at $65.04, Week 8 they were at $68.77, and week 10 had a huge gain and were selling at $72.28. My second stock was Target (TGT-NYSE) at first I bought shares for $53.89, Week 8 they were selling for $54.13, and finally in week 10 they were selling for $55.63. Finally, my dark horse stock Live Nation (LYV-NYSE) had some pretty decent initial offerings in Week 3 for $31.28, and in week 8 sold for $33.60, and finally Week 10 for $35.02

2. I made some pretty good cash for 7 weeks worth of work. Microsoft did really well, (my prediction for the upcoming E3 convention panned out) and I made $926.72 here. Secondly, Target had a more decent gain between weeks 8 and 10 and I made $269.70 in this one. Since this stock usually trends up over the summer this is a one to watch in the coming weeks. The stock I am most excited about was Live Nation. I made $1192.84 on this one. I chose this one just because I was going to a concert. I have a feeling that this one will drop as summer ends, so I would almost consider selling in the near future. Overall I made $2389.26. I may need to think about a career in the stock market….

3. I think that I made some pretty awesome choices, choices that for me, made sense. In retrospect I don’t think that I would do anything differently except wish that I really had the $25,000 to make these investments. I made some decent money, and all of my picks showed gains each week.

4. I really learned that it takes money to make money. I also learned the value and how to track and validate stocks on the stock market. This assignment really got me thinking about how I can use future funds to invest, and it is something that I really plan on doing in the future. I have always been pretty good with finances, but never really understood the meaning of FINANCE. I kind of like what I have learned so far……and I am definitely intrigued.

I combined all of my numbers in one stock journal. Reading one seemed easier to me.

Finance is fun….and can be lucrative.

Disaster Recovery – 1

Option #2: Department of Homeland Security

Visit the Department of Homeland Security website – http://www.dhs.gov/ – and review the types of disasters that fall within the department’s purview. Decide whether, in its disaster planning, the department leans towards terrorist events at the expense of more mundane events, like fires and flooding, etc. Write a report that includes:

• The department’s disaster recovery planning
• Key services important to the department
• Whether there is information about loss of IT systems
• Which services are the most important for the department to restore first (list the services in the order of importance to the department and in the order that they must be restored)
• What services can be put off until later
• What recommendations you would offer to apply/add to the disaster recovery plan and to the business continuity documents

Your paper should be 3-5 pages in length including graphics, and conform to the APA requirements. Include at least five credible references in addition to the course textbook.

Note:

No plagiarism, please provide incite citations, keep it simple essay format with appropriate introduction and conclusion to the subject. Appreciate if you could address all the questions.
