Week 4
Here are a couple of things that we did and also a quick review of the stock market are as follows:
Though out the week we bought and sold a number of stocks depending on how good\bad they were doing at that moment. After looking at their graphs and the 52 week high\low we either perchased them at what we thought was a low point or sold at a high point. A few examples of this would be: TSL (buy) - $28.47, WMT (buy) - $52.70, MELI (buy) - $84.03 (sold) - $85.74
This month the Dow Jones Industrial Average for the NYSE has been consistently climbing. This week though it has plateaued, and since congress can not agree on a federal budget most federal things will be shut down on Saturday until they agree on a budget. This is a sure sign that the stock market will drop since people will be in a frantic selling frenzy.
TSL, our highest gainer this week, is now ranked second in overall output of solar energy materials in the world and the are second most profitable solar energy company in the world. As stated in this article: http://www.solarnovus.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2573:how-green-is-the-solar-industry&catid=41:applications-tech-news&Itemid=245 they are doing well, but the overall solar energy is not as green as it seems. What it takes to make these panels is almost just as bad as burning fossil fuels instead of using them.

3/25/2011
1. Throughout the week we have done very few things. However, the changes that we did make are substantial. We sold off most of the stocks that were doing terrible since a few sites such as ChinaAnyalist.com told us to sell the stocks because they would keep going down. Some of the stocks we purchased were: SCO, URBN, BAC, SCHL, QID, SSG, BBY.
2.The NASDAQ climbed at a steady pace this week along with the S&P 500. Most likely because of the rebounding economy of japan since the earthquake.
3. The economy is rebounding from the earthquake and the tsunami which hit japan over the past week.
4. The companies listed above ^^ have no real new things to report on except BAC. Bank of America is attempting to lower some of the interest rates on their high interest loans that they have given out to unsuspecting customers.

Week 2
Tuesday
1. Today we started off by buying NOAH because of their down word trend and their tendency to expand and grow. We purchased them because they were down at a low point, but the they were also a top pick for the best stocks of the week.
2. We have gone up in % this week so and we have decided to get rid of the stocks that are doing bad. So this stock looked amazingly promising!
3 & 4. SEE ABOVE
5. Competitors were difficult to find, but from the information I gathered, I found that they are very few competitors and their market is very small.
Wednesday
1. Sam and I got SKUS when it was at a considerable low point and the stock has since gone up a considerable percentage.
2. We sold much of the stock that was doing well such as NOAH and SFUN which where either making a significant amount, or broke even so as not to lose a large sum of money.
6. None to speak of. No company breakthroughs in ANY of the companies that we currently own.
7. The market was doing very well on this day so those stocks that we were doing very well on such as NOAH we sold off immediately.
Thursday
Today stocks plummeted down to an extreme low because of rising oil and gas prices.
In short we do not have much to report today. Our stocks took a major crap and thus we lost a lot of money.
On this day we also purchased a few stocks such as SWKS that were at a low point and there was a high promise that it would go up.
Friday
Stocks today were neutral for our stocks. We stayed consistent and did not buy or sell anything. Although, we did attempt to sell GFC today but to no luck as they did not go anywhere for us.
The market today closed at a little higher point so it was not so smart to buy or sell.
In conclusion the market did basically nothing today just as we did.
