Stock Market

A detailed Summary of Stock Market

When I first started the stock game, I really didn't know what I was doing and which companies to buy. Therefore, I just pick the companies that have the best dividend and did well in the past. Also I picked the companies that I've heard of and familiar with. Then as I've become more familiar with the stock game, I realized I should go with the high-tech computer companies, since they were doing real well. Overall, I bought those companies because I thought they would do well in the future and those companies provide good dividend. Also I picked some companies that consumers will never lost interest on, such as CocaCola and Disney. The reason I chose Long's Drugs because I believe it plays an important role in people's life. Everybody buys the medical care from there, it's not a very expensive cost for the middle class, and the recent America is leading by the huge amount of middle class.

AMD, Yahoo, and AOL are the high tech companies I bought. I think they went up quite much than others. It seems like most of the companies that are related to computer or Internet went up.

London stocks and Hong Kong stocks are going up, much like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, this is a good sign of global economics.

US business firms enjoy considerably greater flexibility than their counterparts in Western Europe and Japan in decisions to expand capital plant, lay off surplus workers, and develop new products. At the same time, they face higher barriers to entry in their rivals' home markets than the barriers to entry of foreign firms in US markets.
