(must have instructors approval before you start) Track and plot the closing price of your companys stock each day for four weeks; Use FINANCE.YAHOO.COM, under stock quotes to track your stocks. This needs to be done on a spreadsheet, then converted into line graph form with X,Y coordinates for price and day. This must be done on a computer (Microsoft Excel). Specific and accurate closing prices should be included on your graph. Your companys stock will have a specific spreadsheet, graph and profile.

Write (type) the summary of the companys which will include the following information: (A) Basic background (history, location of head quarters, stores, factories, etc) and a summary of what the company does (i.e. all the products and services it provides). (B) Companys economic performance during the past 1-3 years (revenue/profits/losses,etc). (C) Companys plans for the future (e.g. new products, services, strategies). (d) An explanation of the stocks performance during the tracking period. (e) Include a review of the stocks performance over the last 5 to 10 years. (f) Conclusion NOTE: you must use in-text citations in your paper; failure to do so will result in a failing grade for the paper. Plagiarism will result in failure of this assignment. Please include the ticker or stock symbol (e.g. Starbucks = sbux) on all pages and use in-text citation for resources of your write-up information (I will check them). .
