In my portfolio, investing in the American Greetings Corporation worked out very well for me. Investing in this stock made me the most money and it had one of the smaller prices per share in my portfolio. Choosing this company to invest in during this time of year was great because of Valentine's Day in February, when many people around the world give cards to each other. Also, hanging on to my stocks for a longer period of time gave me a larger profit in the end. However, if I could change some things in my portfolio, I would do more research on which companies are succeeding at which times of the year so I could gain a bigger profit. This way, I would be able to make smarter decisions with my money in the stock market. I would recommend my stock choices to other investors because for only investing in these stocks for five weeks, I gained a pretty large overall profit of $507.52. Some of my investing choices were risky, but they ended up being beneficial decisions.
