3. For each of the companies that you choose to invest in, please give me the following://

 * 3) Exchange where Stock Trades
 * 4) Brief summary of what the company does
 * 5) Location of Corporate Headquarters
 * 6) Add hyperlinks as appropriate to a news article that has some impact/implication on your company's stock performance.

4. Revisit your investment strategy and portfolio - once early-March, and once early April. Report the following:
 * 1) Stocks are doing good for the most part.
 * 2) Wallmart is struggling but mastercard is doing more than enough to make up for it.
 * 3) The economy is terrible so i think everyone is struggling.
 * 4) I did buy and sell stock.

=__**End of Project:**__=
 * 1) $142, 717.25
 * 2) Make a pie chart of your holdings, based on $ invested in each stock.
 * 3) Everything turned out well. I am happy with how i finished. I finished in the top 25% of the 600+ people that participated in this game. I would have done more investing had i had more time and that would be my only regret and thing I would do differently if I had the chance.
 * 4) Please print/link and thoroughly discuss current events article for two of your companies.
 * 5) I learned the stock market can be a scary thing. I much rather gamble on sports and horse races where I can have more fun and be at the event. I am not a fan of the stock market and I do not plan on participating in it in the future. I think you did a fine job in helping us gain experience with this realistic game, however I am not a fan of doing these wikispaces and gmail thing, I guess im just too old fashion.
