=//__Philosophy / Investing Strategy:__//=

=Investor For A Cause: =
 * Are there any problems or injustices in the world that corporations should be more responsible in handling?
 * Consider:
 * "Green" Companies
 * Fair Treatment of Workers
 * Corporate philosophy of being particularly responsible or kind to communities
 * Research and Development of alternative/sustainable energy, etc.

//The reason why we like this profile over the others is because it sounds the most interesting and successful. Many people have been turning "green" lately due to such high prices in the economy. We think that this will be the smartest chose to invest in because many people are going to start using these products much more. There is no way that this Investor For A Cause will fail with this terrible market!//

1. How are the stocks doing? - All of our stocks are doing relatively well. However, just like our poor economy at this point in time, our stocks have both their ups and their downs.

2. Any particular good or bad ones? - Chevron is definitely doing the best out of all our other corporations. Dell is doing the worst out of all our corporations, however, they are not doing horribly.

3. How are bigger economic / current events issues impacting your stock? - The biggest ecomonic issue that is going on right now that is impacting our stock would definitely have to be the recession that our economy is going through. All stocks have taken big hits, and of course, all of ours are included.

ARTICLE #1: In this article, the author talks about how Toyota has had to cut back global sales target. This has effected Toyota in the stock market greatly because having decided to cut back sales has caused their buisness to not sell as much vehicles. Without selling vehicals, they make no profit and their stock goes way down. They have used great advertising deals in order to up their sales, but with this poor economy, no one is able to buy their products. ARTICLE #2: In this article, the author talks about how Chevron Corp. is the second largest U.S oil company, but over the past month or so, their stock has dropped almost 20%!! They then proceed to explain how even though their stock has dropped significantly, it is still a compelling buy. They tell of how Chevron is a widely based energy-sector company and is involved with natural gas, chemical production and plastics. Chevron is a very solid financial corporation, unlike many buisnesses now-a-days. The author gives good tips on when to buy it, and at what price. This is a very positive thing for this corporation because even trough this poor economy at this point in time, they still manage to pull though and buyers of stock will realize this and want to purchase more, which in turn, will become a great profit for Chevron.
