AP Macroeconomics Stock Blurbs
Stock Purchases and Why

1. Colgate is a company that was going up when I purchased them. They have special offers, community programs, and sustainability systems. As stereotypical as this is, the Latinos love Colgate and they are the fastest growing population in the United States, therefore, Colgate is being invested in a lot and continuing to go up. Colgate produces a necessity. No matter what, the chances of people no longer needing tooth paste are very low. I chose this over any other dentistry related company because I personally buy Colgate products and trust them a lot.
2. Estee Lauder is a premier global company. Their global presence is large, especially in the makeup area. Their dividend stock is internationally invested in and they have a very low P/E. I went on the margin and borrowed against my other positions on the short term because Wday earnings coming out and they should be good. This was a European stock but I like having ADRs because that market is undervalued.
3. Home Depot has been for weeks as people have been fixing their houses and building new homes since the stock market has been up due to the government adding more circulation. People are throwing a lot of money into their houses recently and I do not think that this will be stopping any time soon. I will continue to trade them and buy shares until I see them have a noticeably big downfall.
4. Johnson and Johnson was one of the first companies I traded because they are one of those companies that produce necessities. Hopefully, people will continue to wash themselves and stay clean. They do business world wide in various currencies.
5. Michael Kors has become a premier stock. The stock has more ups than it does downs and although the P/E was a little on the risky side compared to what I was looking for in my range, the company is extremely popular and invested in, making a lot of profit. I really like what the company produces as well.
6. I traded two

    After 6 days of investment, my results were that ULTA made me a profit and Estee Lauder lost me money. ULTA gave me a profit of $11.43 and, unfortunately, Estee Lauder gave me a negative balance of $13.80. However, even though I did not make a grand profit, I do believe the articles above are right when stating that these are long term investments. In addition, 6 days is not enough time to my an enormous profit off these companies. This project provided me greater insight into the stock market. I was able to see how fast the numbers change each day. Therefore, stocks can be quite risky. That being, there is an urge to sell your shares as soon as prices go up. Yet, for stocks like ULTA and Estee Lauder is is better to be in the long haul.…

    Apple Inc. is a multinational corporation that designs, develops and sells electronics and technology products. The company went public on December 12, 1980, generated one of the biggest amount of capital from IPO in history. At the moment, Apple is the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalization. The company is driving highest profit out of mobile device industry, and expected to growth strongly in the future. After the launch of its new iPhone 5c recently, Apple’s stock price significantly dropped, as investors worry about the expensiveness of this new smartphone, but it has quickly recovered after that. Over the past 10 years, EPS increased steadily, reached the peak of $44.20 per share in 2012. Past 5 years EPS grew stably at annually average of 62.20% which is the highest out of 20 stocks from our stock screener. Apple’s projected growth is high but seems to be humble compared to its past performance, at 17.77%. ROE analysis and Margin analysis, especially net profit margin, also show good signal which increased steadily over the 10-year-period. Apple’s stock currently trades at quite high price of around $500 per share, but the PEG ratio shows at 0.68 indicating that the stock is relatively cheap at its growth level. Despite of being a growth stock, the company is offering dividend payout of 27.30%. Overall, the stock has outperformed its industry average in all of the growth indicators. The high potential risks, including highly competitive industry require high capital expenditures to stay innovative; product manufacturing and logistical services provided by outsourcing partners; and legal risk related to intellectual property rights, should be acknowledged by investors. We decided to pick Apple since it has very strong exposure into the mobile device sector with high growth potential, strong cash flows, strong competitive position, and a cheap stock right now.…
