Researching the highly marketable investment


Assignment : Investment Selection

Publically traded stock, corporate bonds, government bonds, real estate, mutual funds, and derivatives are all examples of highly marketable investments.

You will be required to collect financial statements and /or relevant financial information that detail(s) the past three (3) years (fiscal or calendar) of the chosen investment.

Finance, Google Finance, MSN Money, or Hoovers.)

You will also be required to research your chosen investment's price for the past five (5) years, as well as a related market index for this investment for the past five (5) years. An example of an applicable market index is the Standard & Poor's Stock Market Index, commonly called the S&P 500.
