I believe that IBM would be a good investment because it is a high-margin business that produces ample free cash flow. Also, it anticipates steady improvement as it continues to make progress on its cloud business.]]> 2018-06-15 20:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267412738 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267514576 Ticker Symbol - MCD

As the rate of increase of the stock price begins to slow, DBX seems to be reaching its peak, and the stock price may begin to drop soon.]]> 2018-06-18 00:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267532693 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267541408 Ticker- AAPL

A Forbes article provides information about a credible leak stating that Apple will no longer be making a smaller iPhone X and will instead be making larger ones. It also speculates that Apple might be "slash[ing] new iPhone prices by almost $300." This good news should encourage people to invest in Apple and increase the stock price.

Evaluation: According to various news sites, after HP's major split back in 2015, separating HP Enterprises from HP Inc, the separation has helped both sections gain earnings in stocks. HP Inc. stocks have gone up 67% since the split. The company has mostly been on the rise and is expected to continue this growth, making it an affordable and smart choice to invest in. ]]> 2018-06-18 16:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267653352 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267672069 Ticker Symbol - TSLA

I think that it is a good idea to invest in amazon. The company is forever growing and is unlikely to cease due to our large technological society. ECommerce makes up a large sum of our retailing market. With its current exponential trend of growth, it would be a good idea to invest now so that in the future the stock will be worth way more. Amazon stock is also on its way to passing $2,000 per stock. Therefore, it would be a good idea to invest currently before it becomes unattainable. ]]> 2018-06-18 19:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267680328 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267716590 Ticker symbol: NTDOY

I believe that Nintendo would not be a good company to invest in right now. This is because shares have decreased 16% in June alone, and the stock prices have dropped dramatically as well. Part of this could be due to the lack of new and exciting releases for the Nintendo Switch in recent months. Also, during the E3 Expo, many sources have stated that the games and information that Nintendo presented was not very compelling, and not enough information was given on major releases. This left investors wary of the future of the Nintendo Switch and the company itself, which also affected stocks. At this point, it is very risky to invest, because there is no way of predicting how Nintendo will fare in the near future.]]> 2018-06-19 02:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267716590 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267817447 Ticker Symbol: NKE

Analysis: The popularity growth of adidas caused Nikes stock to fall significantly. Several sources have cited that Nikes stock is growing continuously due to their change in product style however it took them a while to begin to grow after their last fall. I think that Nike would be a risky investment due to the many changes in the athletic fashion industry. If Nike isn't able to keep up with the changes it could cause another fall in stock. ]]> 2018-06-19 15:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267817447 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267820020 Ticker Symbol: PII

Evaluation: Polaris Industries is having a really good year so far. According to the Motley Fool, Polaris' snowmobiles ales have been up 28% and its RZR Side-by-Side's sales are up 17% even after being some complications and being recalled. Polaris now expects ales to rise 4-6% within the year. This is good news for the company and should encourage investors to buy stocks in Polaris Industries because they are doing better than they have in years. ]]> 2018-06-19 15:54:09 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267820020 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267838328 Ticker Symbol: NWL

Evaluation: Newell Brands does not seem to be doing so well. It dropped from $54.55 just last year in June all the way down to $23.58 in slightly less than 12 months. Despite this, now would be the best time to invest because the prices have gone down a large amount. There is still potential for it to come back. Rubbermaid and Papermate are subsidiaries of Newell bands. Papermate deals with a lot of school supplies, so around August the stock should begin to recover. Also, Rubbermaid was ranked in the top 1% against competing companies, showing that the company is competent, and will be able to provide value.]]> 2018-06-19 18:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267838328 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267840259 Ticker Symbol: EA

Analysis: At this point of the year, it would not be a good idea to invest in Electronic Arts as there are no big game releases planned until the holiday season. Their stock has gone up 9% in 2017, but has stayed about the same going into 2018. Madden and FIFA releases are the only thing keeping the company in a safe zone due to how badly other launches have gone such as Star Wars: Battlefront 2. EA's other competitors have soared in stocks and will have to come out with a release equal to what's popular nowadays if they want to compete.]]> 2018-06-19 18:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267840259 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267841336 Ticker Symbol: MSFT

Microsoft would be a good investment right now. Compared to another tech company "IBM", Microsoft is proven to be a strong investment. Over the past 12 months, Microsoft has outperformed IBM by 34%, despite IBM having a high dividend and low valuation. The majority of Microsoft's revenue is coming from personal computing such as Windows and hardware, among other things. I, personally, know tons of people who use windows, myself included and it does not appear to be going away anytime soon. For the past 3 quarters, Microsoft has consistently reported positive revenue growth and sales are even predicted to keep rising another 13% this year, making it a good investment right now.]]> 2018-06-19 18:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267841336 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267846547 Ticker Symbol: TWTR

Evaluation: Twitter would be be a good investment right now. Twitter has been on a steady increase the past few months and does not seem to have had a major fall in price of stocks. In 2014 the price of a stock was around $70. After that it had a decrease and has been at a constant low for a while. Over the past few months Twitter seems to have a steady increase in stock price. Now would be a good time to purchase the stock because it is priced reasonably and it is shown in Twitter history that stocks were more expensive. This shows that there is still growth for Twitter and the stock price does not have seem to have reached its peak just as yet. ]]> 2018-06-19 19:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267846547 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267851061 Ticker symbol: CMG

Evaluation: I do not think that Chipotle would be a good stock to invest in right now. Just looking at the 52 week range, Chipotle is almost at its peak right now, which only leaves room for it to decrease. Also, according to the internet, Chipotle is moving its headquarters in Denver to move to California. This has been the result for the stock to climb so high recently. However, once Chipotle finally moves to California and is settled in for awhile, not as many people will be purchasing the stock anymore to cause the prices to continue to rise.]]> 2018-06-19 20:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267851061 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267861302 Ticker symbol- DIS

Evaluation- Right now might not be the best time to invest in Disney stock as they are deep in a bidding war trying to buy 20th Century Fox. Owning Fox would be very profitable to Disney as several entities that Fox own could age in "synergies" for Disney. The X-men, in particular, are a popular marvel property that is currently owned by Fox right now instead of Disney (much like how Spider-man is actually owned by Sony) that Disney could make a profit out of in products, new movies or television series, or even appearances from popular characters in their parks. Disney is in a predicament where if they spend too much money on Fox, they will lose some appeal and therefore their stocks will become less valuable yet if they back off, they will miss a powerful opportunity to expand their empire.]]> 2018-06-19 21:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267861302 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267865723 Ticker symbol- HSY

Evaluation- I think that Hershey would not be the best investment chose right now. Although it is very close to it's 52 week low, meaning that there the chance for it to drop in value is unlikely it does not seem like the best place to put your money. When analyzing the graph, it illustrates going into small and steady peaks and then dropping. Currently we are just at the start of an incline to one of those peaks. It is relatively expensive to purchase stock in Hershey right now though given that it has only reached a peak of close to $94 (and it is almost $92 right now). It would be safer to invest in a company that had the same fluctuations, but had a cheaper stock price. Even Tootsie Rolls (TR) is on a rise and is only 29.80 for a single stock right now.

Evaluation: As of right now, the company has been pushing harder for revenue, allowing for its growth. Not only so, it is nearing its deal for 10% of 'PUBG' maker Bluehole, which has been predicted to have massive gains if it wins in its case against Fortnite. However, due to the political situation between China and the US on the threat of greater tariffs, stocks have been falling in value. With its potential growth, now may be an excellent time to buy the stock cheap and sell it high after it reaches its growth potential.]]> 2018-06-19 23:30:27 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267867194 jamesshi0567 https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267878590 Ticker Symbol-INTC

Evaluation:Intel would be a good investment at the moment. It has had a slight decrease recently but has otherwise sky-rocketed from the 33 to the 52 price of the shares of Intel. The slight decrease was only a couple of cents and if looking at the charts, this activity is seen a lot, so it is not too alarming. The steady increase though is a good indicator of the positivity this company is going through and the stats show that it is not going to stop anytime soon. Intel has gotten back on its feet and it would be a waste to not buy shares now, like the wasted opportunity to miss out on Intel stocks in the past. ]]> 2018-06-20 01:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/todd_mertz/naslhiic4r69/wish/267878590
