Initial Philosophy:** //We felt all these would be good to start with because based on the seasons approaching they will be the most sparked in increase of purchases. We closley analyzed all the possible things that could strike the companies we were looking at and decided to go with the ones that seemed most likely to increase. some of our choices supported gifts people give during christmas and we tried to beat out our classmates with this philosophy.//

4. Revisit your investment strategy and portfolio - once Mid-October, and once Mid-November. Report the following:
 * 1) How are the stocks doing?our stocks are doing as a whole poorly although two are showing a glimmer of hope
 * 2) Any particular good or bad ones?Wynn was an awful pick as well as apple
 * 3) How are bigger economic / current events issues impacting your stock? our economy was officially declared in a recession and we were very deep in it which dropped all stocks and as a whole all stocks have declined over the last couple months.
 * 4) We eventually bailed out of the Wynn stock because it was not going up it was just a non stop decline despite the launch of their new hotel and the peak season for travel

=__**End of Project:**__=
 * 1) overall loss was 85781.27 was our account holdings at the end so a 14218.73 loss
 * 2) Make a pie chart of your holdings, based on $ invested in each stock.
 * 3) Our initial strategy was to go for things relating to the time fo year and guess what would be having higher sales and it would make the people investing feel more confident. We assumed apple would be a good choice on a account of the launch of the chromatic and all the sales that would come with that approaching christmas along with the increased purchases on food and presents from places such as costco. as well as their gas revenues from the higher quantities of driving for the holidays. which led us to buying the exxonn stock because everyone drives more in the holiday's and we capitalized on that and the declining prices increasing our revenue. . If we had another chance i would resort mostly to gasoline industries and the medical field as those typicall increase or stay solid and the medical fields are on a constant increase until some information is given that their products are dangerous or recalled wich is highly unlikely. i would also go into less fluctuating businesses and review some graphs of the last five years and the ones with the most constant solid increase would be the ones we'd use. also we would pick more wholesalers as they would be getting more sales than retailers because we are in a recession and people look to get their dollars worth as best as possible. (Solid 1-paragraph assessing your strategy, 1 paragraph describing what you would try differently.)
 * 4) http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2008499071_costco12.html Costco's sales have been declining despite the season and its troubling the appreciated value, http://www.pfizer.com/news/press_releases/pfizer_press_releases.jsp# pfizer released information about how their medications are better than other companies giving them the edge further strengthening their constant increase
 * 5) i have definitley struggled with the technical aspect and did not feel like ample time was allotted to teaching all of us how to use the necessary components on account of the fact this was an economy class and no technology should be required as it is not part of the curriculum. i also wasn't very fond of the fact that it dragged on for many months as it never felt like i had a good place to start it or any way to attack it to till the last week when we decided to take it all on. i did like though how it taught us about the economy the fluctiuations and how quickly money could dissapear and the fluctuations of the stock market greatly affected many aspects of our economy as we got to see in real life how the stocks affected our economy and the news affected our stocks.
