Business Studies
We are starting our first Business Studies project. We will be buying and selling shares to try and make as much money as possible. We have been given £50,000 to invest into the Stock Exchange in the next 6 weeks. Our group can only invest into three companies at any one time. Once a week we will have the opportunity to sell one of our companies if it is doing badly, and invest into a new one.
We will be picking our shares using the information we collect from the newspaper, TV or the internet. If a newspaper article says something good about a company then it will be cut out and used as a reason as to why we picked the particular company. The newspaper can also tell us what companies to steer clear of because they are doing badly.
The group will lay their portfolio out how they wish but it should be clear and understandable to what we are talking about. We are going to lay the information about the prices and total cost of the shares in a table so that we can quickly recall the information. I will be using Microsoft Excel to display my table of information. There will be a different table every week as we buy and sell our shares and as the prices change. I will have a different page per week. On each page of our Excel sheet will be my table and a brief statement about what has happened in the week.
