Instructions: Building wealth over the long term requires an understanding of investment strategies to reach financial goals. Imagine having $1000 to invest. This portfolio project will
require you to research companies and select stocks to build a diversified portfolio. You'll then observe how the portfolio performs over a set amount of time.
Here is the rubric for your project
Introductory Text:
To complete the investment portfolio, perform the following tasks:
1. Select at least five stocks to simulate a diversified portfolio. Indicate the company name, stock symbol, initial share price, number of shares bought, and the total cost for each
stock. The stock purchases will go through an online broker that charges a commission of $4.95 for each stock. Be sure the total cost is as close to $1000 as possible.
2. Choose one company and explain why you opted to buy stock in this company. Research this company and provide an overview of the company's profile, such as its history
and what it produces, and other relevant financial information, such as total revenue, total profits, dividend yield, and recent stock performance. Cite at least one source for
this information
