Your Final Stock Market Report should include background information for all investments. It must include: company name, trading symbol, location, mission, product/service line, competitors, revenues, earnings information, and stock exchange traded on, any current activities that you think may make your selected companies a good or bad investment in the future. In your opinion, which of the seven are good investments for the short-term and for the long-term. Your report should also include share price when you start tracking the stock, number of shares purchased, value of investment on date sold, and profit or loss on the investment.
