Since we have been playing the stock market game for some time now, it has been a very competitive game that we have played. The best part is when our stocks have increased and won money but then again everyone gets happy when we win some sort of profit. However it's when we saw that we have lost money and of course it is disappointing but it plays a key role towards us. Whenever there is a decrease in money it provides us with an understanding that we need to come up various possibilities that we can try to make our stocks increase. Our strategy was to try to but the popular but also the cheapest stocks so we can be cautious with our money. We would check everyday of the stocks and our progress in the game. If we were doing good then we would continue to buy more stocks. However, when there is decrease in the stock and our progress then we would see the stock that has decreased more than the others or the only one. We believe that our strategy is helpful to us and we would not be able to change it but if we need to then we will.

              Our group has purchased 5 stocks so far this week. We have bought 3 apparel stocks. The stock price for Urban Outfitters over three years has been between 41.70 - 42.65. Recently there has been an increase in stock purchase between  November 2014 and March 2015. We believe that the trend in clothing bought and wore by this generation of teenagers have contributed to the rise for URBN. We predict to see the price staying steady at 42 due to summer apparel that sure to bring in income to the company as well as more investors.
               The second apparel stock we purchased was Guess?, which is currently priced at 18.45. Stock price in this case has decreased within the past three years but has recently seen a significant recovery in March 2015. We see a higher demand of Guess brand clothing during spring/summer seasons when shown a 3 month graph of the Guess stock. We see price increasing due to this trend.
             Our third apparel stock purchased was American Eagle Outfitters priced at 17.10. The price has increased over the past 2 years by $6. We predict that AEO will keep increasing this year and help us gain equity even if it is our lowest priced stock.
            Our other 2 stocks are the highest priced stocks we have chosen; Sony at 30.72 and T-Mobile at 34.44. Both of these companies are worth millions of dollars and millions of customers. This is why we believe that the value of stock will increase in the upcoming years. However, we are aware that the competition between Sony and Apple products can result in a decease in stock price, this is also true between -Mobile and other companies such as Verizon and AT&T. Overall, prices in stocks we have chosen have shown to be increasing, contributing to our net equity gain.

      We choose to invest in T-Mobile stock because this company introduces very innovative ways to appease the consumer which causes the costumers to return and causes the stock value to increase. This is reliable network, and the quality that helps people stick together with the people all over.  T-Mobile stores carry many products that no other company. This company also has a low stock price which allows investors to buy more. This company is worth 29.56 billion and had capable of reaching over 293 million Americans.
​      Sony is a multinational corporation that originated from Japan in 1946. Every since they created various products such as Televisions, Digital Cameras, Smartphones, Tablets, Video Cameras, Headphones, Portable Audio, Playstations, etc. that manifolds of people tend to buy and/or want. In other words, Sony has constantly have been successful for many years in which “annual sales approximately $75 billion for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and employs approximately 140,900.” In a recent article, it describes how Sony is improving its products especially “PS4 and PS3.PlayStation Vue allows the users to watch TV on demand. The service is based on cloud DVR, which allows the users to stream cartoons, movies, sports and TV series on Sony consoles.” Overall, we decided that buying a stock from Sony can benefit us.
       Vodafone is a British multinational corporation that originated in 1991. It is mainly consists of branded phones and branded devices.
