CONCLUSION|

As you can see from the previous data and calculations presented, a successful share portfolio has been created. Some alterations and changes had been made to this portfolio during the 20 days time period, in order to assure that the best possible outcome would be achieved. After tax had been deducted from my end amount, a profit of $9297.90 was made for the shareholder. This portfolio on average increased by 14.3% allowing this final profit to be accumulated.
My portfolio included investments within three different companies each in different industries. Santos, an oil and gas company, Telstra, a major company in telecommunications, as well as JB HI-FI a small music retailer. With the three companies being so different from one another it allowed my portfolio to be diversified. Therefore if due to world events one industry falls, the rest of my portfolio will not fall with it, therefore having a strong portfolio.
The carful decisions in deciding on where the investments were to go, allowed for a reasonable profit to be created.

Telstra was definitely my most consistent investment, even though the first four days in which I held the shares prices dropped from the purchased price of $4.82 to a slightly lesser amount of $4.76. From the fifth day onwards the share price continued to gradually increase at a steady and dependable rate. By the thirteenth day of holding these shares the increase in price started to get smaller and smaller, and I decided to sell at a price of $5.09 just in case of a price decrease. Luckily I sold at the right time as prices then fluctuated around $5.05, and finally ending the 20 day period with a price of $5.01. With selling my shares in Telstra on day 13, I was

the story of Renee and the math problem is to use her hard-working effort and the self-teaching that was involved to prove his claim. This is clearly evident when after the story Gladwell uses her to reach his conclusion that people who work hard are best at math. Gladwell would think that Renee might be a success.

at Actis Junior High. The memories there were created in math, woodshop, and history. Some of the most important memories there were caused by mistakes, from which I gained a bit of knowledge.

In the first ten minutes, I already knew that that class would be my least favorite class all year. After all, it was math, which many people loathed as well. But my teacher, Mrs. Wall…
