valuate the results of your current investment to provide your opinion/assessment of your investments.

Capital markets and the ability to raise funds for corporate uses are essential to the U.S. economic system. For this assignment, imagine that you have $25,000 to invest in U.S. companies. You are buying used stock. The company got the money when it issued the stock originally. You will be buying it from an existing owner. You are investing, or buying, the stock because you believe the company will make money and pay you a dividend in cash. Each share of stock that you buy entitles you to any dividend declared and a vote at the annual stockholders’ meeting. The stock also allows you the ability to earn your money back by selling the stock. Of course, investing in stocks is risky and there is the possibility that the stock you buy will be worth less when you want your money back. The company is not obligated to give you any of your money back. You will only get your money back if another investor wants to buy your stock Record the current price of the stock for each company You may use any price during this week (e.g., day one price, the opening, the low, the high, the close, or any price you find when you check it during the day). .Determine the current value of your total investment. Do not make any changes to your investment at this time. Calculate your total based on the number of shares and the new price per share, for each company. Evaluate the results of your current investment to provide your opinion/assessment of your investments. Consider the following questions as you provide your opinion: Why do you believe the stock increased, decreased, or remained static? Are you upset because your investment is worth less than $25,000? Are you happy with the result and the trend? Use at least two quality references.
