You have $1,000,000 to invest. What is
your investment strategy?

Questions to consider:

  • Which investments did you choose?
  • Why did you choose these
    particular investments?
  • How did you select the number of
    stocks to put into your portfolio?
  • Were you selecting growth stocks?
    Income stocks? A balanced portfolio? A diversified portfolio?

Deliverable
Instructions

Explain why the stocks you choose fit
into your personal investment goals. You should base your strategy on what
we’ve talked about in class, textbook material, and your research. As usual,
document – use quotation marks when it is an exact quote and state the sources.
You should write about a page to answer this assignment. One way to start is to
take theMAPS questionnaire to get a better reading on your personal risk preferences
and what investments are appropriate for those preferences. The questionnaire
is optional – this is something for you personally; you will not be asked to
share your responses (however, you may voluntarily do so).

Note: Posts must be a minimum of 75 words.
