Purchase #1
Question 1:
The first stock I purchased was Microsoft as a safe investment with low risk. As the game first began to enroll itself, Microsoft became a very profitable contender due to the sharp increase in share prices. I knew the increase would not hold on for long and the stock trend portrayed both sharp increases and decreases in stock prices; this attributed to the selling of my Microsoft shares as an incentive to save any gains I made.

Microsoft Corp. is a technology innovation company, which provides goods such as smartphones, Tablets, and computers; as well as services which include technical support and Microsoft office. Many of these products are commercialized at enormous scale, and profoundly incorporated within the classrooms of school districts around the country. Though mass marketing and product dispersion allowed the company to become as successful as it is today, market trends showed that every two months the company would go into a financial slumps, especially around the time Apple would present new products. Since Apple would not announce their new products until September, Microsoft seemed like a great contender for a safe and beginning investment as they always do around this time of year from April to May.
Question 3: “Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)” had a 52 week low at 39.86 during the Month of February 2015 due to the lack of corporate income as swell as the loss of consumer interest towards Microsoft’s new innovative product “Surface Pro”. The 52-week high for the company was 50.04 as the new speculation of Google’s Android section and Microsoft teaming together to produce new smartphones. Though this would only be competitive towards the cellular market, the company has also bought many rights to various prominent video game designers as well as the unveiling of Microsoft office 10. As
