Review of Our Portfolio

This week we purchased three stocks. The first was Capital One Financial. We lost a total of $2482.20 off of this stock. However, $770.22 was off of commission and fees. We decided to purchase this stock because it was one of the highest risk stocks on the market based on prior research and we thought it would help our chances at winning the game. Our second stock was Hasbro. We purchased this company because of the upcoming toy and Christmas seasons. We thought this stock would go up a little, but instead it went down $558.40. However, $571.00 was off of commission so we actually gained around ten dollars on the stock back. Our third stock we purchased was EMC Corporation stock. This was also purchased on the basis of it being one of the highest risk stocks on the market. We found this information on the Internet and figured that if we were going to win we would need to put a lot of money into high risk stock. However, we lost a total of $1011 on this stock alone, but $358.00 was lost due to commission and fees. Our total equity right now is $95557.79 with a buying power of $108845.58. We also acquired $69.39 from dividends total this week.
