Company Performance Discussion
The financial market, which is the stock market works exactly like the common market, with the difference than the stock market buys and sells stocks and bonds. These stocks and bonds allow people or companies that bought those bonds become owners of a portion of a private company. By buying bonds or shares, the buyer becomes owner, depending on the amount they purchase of the company.
The stock market project has been developed through the semester. The project supposed to be done by three or four people. Each participant had the opportunity to select the company of their preference. In my case, I selected an American company which is Kellogg’s. The performance of my company Kellogg’s was good. Our team was involved to take care of certain decisions. Those decisions were to buy or sell relevant shares. Once we decided to purchase these shares; they became part of our portfolio value. At the same time, we were responsible for these operations in the company. Our team was involve to check the value of stocks or bonds that we have acquired. Also, we revised that these values increase or decrease. We were involved to increase the value of shares or bonds and then sell them again, to make money in this operation. Kellogg’s company came to as an excellent result. We did not lose much money because we bought those shares at its almost lowest price, and sell them at its highest price.
The performance during the semester of the stock selected in this case Kellogg’s company was successful. The start date 2/7/2014 the quantity of stock market purchase was a total of 100 shares in a price of $58.13 and compared with the graph presented it totally gave earnings. By the middle date 3/10/2014 happen exactly the same. Our team bought a total of 100 shares at $61.55 and we received earnings compared with the present graph. My final investment which closed on April, 11 of the year 2014
