Problem
1. Provide a short paragraph on why you selected AAPL, GOOGL, LEVI, T, and TSLA companies for your initial portfolio. If you subsequently sold the shares, identify the date of sale, proceeds, and reason for selling. Add a similar paragraph for any new companies you invested in with the proceeds of your stock sales.
2. What factors inside and outside the company affected the stock price. Some examples are new product release, lawsuit, merger or acquisition, national defense issue (important for example for defense contractors and subcontractors), health issue (such as changes in the pandemic affecting makers of the vaccines and antiviral medications), etc. For your final project you will need to sift through any notes you took throughout the term, and find the ones that you can reasonably tie to changes in stock price. You might want to start by comparing % change in the stock price for the period, with the same change for the broader market (say the S&P500, Nasdaq, or Dow Jones Industrial Average).
