My portfolio, which included stocks such as Apple, Verizon, Navarre, Lion's Gate Entertainment, and Dish network, did very well. I started at $9,399.19 total worth and ended at $11,048.43, for a total gain in the four weeks of $1,649.24.
Lion's Gate and Navarre were the highest gainers, with LionÆs gate starting at $9.16 per share and ended at $13.86/share and Navarre starting at $1.67/share and ending at $1.84, but a high volume of stock was purchased. Lions Gate stock most likely went up because of the new Hunger Games movie, and the massive amount of advance ticket sales.
Overall, I think my investment was a wise investment. Most of the stock rose at a steady rate throughout the four weeks. One of the wise decisions I made was investing in Lion's Gate, knowing based on my classmateÆs/teachers hysteria that the movie would do very well.
If I was given $5,000 right now, I would probably invest about half of it into Apple and Lion's Gate stocks, with the idea that I would sell LionÆs Gate when the hype died down unless they came out with another great film. I would put the other half in my savings account because the stock market can be unpredictable.
