Second Week Stock Analysis

As seen the image below, we can see that to start off the week the market was at a low point, as three of the top companies were at a low. As the week progressed the trends lines wavered a lot, but Nasdaq moved up the highest percentage.

To try and improve my knowledge for this past week I have focused more on following the trends within the news. I have been trying to decode the wording of the specialists in the stock exchange world, in hopes to find hints leading to greatness. This week I did more research than transactions. The market is more difficult to understand than I first anticipated.

On the transactions that I have made within the past week a made a lot of mistakes. If I had been more patient with the stocks I could have made more money. For example, I sold Western Refining Inc. at $27.15, now the stock has gone up to almost $29.00. I found that I was losing a lot of money and not finding ways to regain that money. Therefore, I was discouraged in the world of stocks.

This coming week I am planning on focusing more on researching stocks, I am also going to be more patient with the trends.
