Homework for Monday, May 23

Priority:  Complete your Finance Park folder!
A list of assignments and links to those assignments are on the Finance Park tab.  Sending me an email asking for those links will not be an efficient way to operate at the last minute ...

Monday's Assignment:  3 Stock Line Plots
1) Using the Week 5 Team Summary page, calculate the current value of your portfolio.  You are to use the latest values of the stocks on the gold sheet I gave you in class.
*Gold Sheet Link
2) Make a Line Plot for 3 Stocks
Using the paper handed out in class today, you are to create 3 line plots of comparable stocks selected from the gold sheet.  Your team does NOT need to own these stocks.
*The top of the page should be used for the title of your graphs and your key: a list of the stocks you are comparing, the colors you are using, your scales, etc.
*The bottom of the page is used for plotting your three line plots.
*We are using 1 box = 1 day across the bottom (or top) of your graph.  Make sure to start (opening costs) on April 21 and use the last date as May 20.  Plot your points at the intersections and connect them with straight lines.  April has 30 days.
*You are coming up with your own scale for the money side of things.  Use a range that includes the stocks you are using: you do NOT need to start at zero (and should not) unless you are using the cheaper stocks.  Your scale should reach as close to the top as is logical ... your scale needs to make sense and you will be graded on your selection of a logical scale.
*Use different colors for each of the stocks.  Make your line plots neat and accurate!
Due Tuesday, but remember to prioritize your folder first!  There will not be late points for this assignment being late.
