Social Media Marketing

1. With so many people being away on Friday, the stock market assignment should be reviewed with the entire class again. Any unfinished assignments need to be in before the holidays. I will be marking work over the break. And I will make phone calls home for those of you who are behind in your work.

Stock Market Assignment Individual NEW: Due the end of term: 10 marks TYPED

I changed the marks from 20 to 10.

You are to choose 2 stocks on the TSE, research the companies and do a short report about the company.

• What industry/market they are in/ticker symbol
• Length of time they have been in business
• How did the business get started?
• Who is their CEO/management team
• Why did you choose the stock?
• Start price upon starting the project, keep track of the stock price each day fro 2 weeks, include the end price

Track the stock for 2 weeks or longer and keep track of how the stock is doing. At the end of your tracking time, determine if you had invested $500( get as close to this as possible, remember it could cost you up to $20 to buy and sell the stock. How much you would have gained or lost over the two week period or longer if you are tracking for a longer period.
