Rationale ExxonMobil is a company that provides a product that all Americans need. Fossil fuels and petrochemicals are important for powering our vehicles, heating our homes and other needs that are important. I really learned about their involvement with the community and I think that is important.

Conclusion & Overview I thought this was an interesting project. Some of my stocks did really well making me lots of money! I wish I had the power to sell the stocks that weren't doing well. I liked logging in and tracking everything that was happening in my portfolio. I think I will invest in the stock market when I make my own money.

Companies that made me money! Suspect Detection Inc. It creates technology for counter-terrorism and law enforcement purposes. It did well because it contracts with the United States Government, who uses this and needs new development.

Companies that lost money! Time Warner (-80.64): an entertainment industry company lost money because of the hard economic times of the recession. Waste Management ( ): is a garbage collections and recycling company. It has had more competition in the market with more companies emerging.

Advice I would give to investors! Buy Low… Sell High! Don’t give up on an investment quickly and do research on the companies you are putting your money in!
