Occupy Wall Street

I do not think that this is a good idea. The people who are wanting this to occur are the people that are too lazy to go out and do anything. They are the people who would rather spend their time protesting then spend their time working hard for the things that they value. Based off of what I read, I learned that the people for this want bailed out. I do not agree that those working hard and busting their humps should have to spend their money on those who aren't working. I feel that this is always going to be a contstant problem. This is almost going to be like another government bail out deal.

Week Four Transaction and Predicitions:

This week I bought stock in Progressive. I decided to invest in this stock because everyone has to have insurance, and Progressive is one of the better known insurance companies. This company provides not only car insurance but also house and other insurance coverages that would be needed. This is going to be an investment for me, because I plan on holding on to it for long term. Based upon the 52 week information, I bought these stocks when they were at their lowest. I predict though that within the next few months the stocks will go up by roughly $2. The top compeitors with this stock were State Farm, and Geico. But in the long run and reflecting on the data given, Progressive was the better investment, because the 52 week range information shows that Progressive should never drop extremely, but there is always the chance it will jump up a bunch. This stock is part of the finance sector.

Week Three Transactions and Predictions:

Transaction 1:
       I bought stock in Progressive Insurance this week. I will use this as an investment, because everyone will always have to have insurance, so the stock in this will fluctuate up and down, but it should never sky rocket down or up. My prediction for this, is that it is a smart and safe investment. When comparing Progressive to compeitors, I learned that Progressive was a smart choice because they advertise better, and are more commonly found. I looked into State Farm Insurance, but realized that it was not smart and was almost $2.00 more a stock than Progressive. But State Farm was stilling making less money. I predict based upon the 52 week range information, that Progressive stocks will continue to go up and will go up by about $12.00 by the end of December.
Transaction 2:
      I also invested in Exxon Mobile. This is an investment. I bought this companies stocks because everyone who drives, needs gas. The gas companies will never suffer in the money department. I bought this stock when it was at its higher points, which was not smart on my point. I invested in Exxon, because they are the highest most profitable oil and gas stock that is available now. Based upon the 52 week range information, this company will stay roughly in the same place it is now. It may increase by a dollar or two, but it will stay steadily at where it is today.
