Seventh Week Stock Analysis

Last week I had invested in 1030 shares at $13.77. The stock rise that I had anticipated when investing in the stock was correct, the stock had raised to $14.13. I began to see a decreasing trend over the course of the day previous, and therefore decided to sell the shares that I had bought, making approximately $300.00. 

This week I chose to invest in 313 shares of Microsoft at $57.21. I had researched the trends that were circling about Microsoft in the news, and found that their is anticipation for more potential in the company. Microsoft has announced an expanded partnership with SAP to provide public cloud services.

Sixth Week Stock Analysis

This week I bought 1030 shares of Old National Bank for $13.77. The stock has now gone up to $13.89. I have made a total of $127.21. I decided to invest in this stock due to the fact that this week I learned that banks are commonly a steady investment. The money invested does not range at high rates very often. I saw that the stock had been at a low point, therefore I took the risk with the idea that it would begin to rise. Although the amount of money that I have made thus far is not a high amount, I am anticipating that early next week it will continue to rise at a steady state. In the last quarter, many investment management firms such as Legal General Group, have been boosting their shares. Therefore, I am anticipating that there is insider information not available to the public, that each of these companies has a word in.

Fifth Week Stock Analysis

This past week I sold BioTime Inc. when it reached $3.90. Give or take one to two cents this is the highest price that it has reached since I sold it. Therefore, I believe that with this stock I made the right choice to sell. I also sold Western Digital Corp. at $59.70. Since then the stock has gone to $58.09. Therefore, I also believe that I made a great choice to sell at that time.

This week I have also shorted NUGT. Shortly after I shorted NUGT there was a quick drop in the stock price, and then it began to rise, therefore I covered the stock at $12.31, after shorting at $12.61. Now looking at the trends that the stock has gone to in the rest of the week I see that I should have waited to cover the stock, as it has now dropped to $11.65.

I had invest in JNUG last week, with the thought that the stocks would be rising early this week. This was not the case, all oil stocks have gone down drastically. I have now lost $12,602.  I am hoping to make money with the rise when they begin to move back up.

Fourth Week Stock Analysis

This past week I have invested in two different stocks; BioTime Inc., and Western Digital Corp.

Western Digital Corp. is a company based in American named one of the largest computer hard drive manufacturers in the world. I invested in the stock at $58.94 and it has now raised to $59.05. Earlier in the week I had read an article speaking about the demand for smartphones, PC and game console applications. I had read that the company is expecting a modest level of pre-tax profit for the next six months. The stock has been fluctuating since that day, but with todays news article the stocks have began to rise at a steady pace. Barclay's has issued a note to investors in which it is replacing Apple for Western Digital as the new IT Hardware top pick. It has been stated that PC and storage dynamics are much better than expected, and the stocks should continue on an upward trend.

On September 27th, the day that I invested in the stock the trends showed that there was a significantly higher amount of trades made on the stock than was expected. The stock gained 4.47% that day. I was anticipating that the company would continue on this upward trend, with the success of their human embryonic stem cell and induced pluripotent stem cell technology.
