Automotive- Honda

I will buy a stock in the Honda industry. Honda uses the same basic design for most of its models. This means fewer differences in parts and supplies and fewer production lines. The fewer, the cheaper. Furthermore, in making this decision, I compared their stock rates to their competitors, Ford and Toyota, and found that they are in lead. According to moneycentral.msn.com their last price of weekly high activity was 37.23, which compared to their low of 28.16 is not that bad. In addition, their income within the last year is $110 million. Now although they have a -21.7% income within a 5-year period, that statistics is actually pretty well considering we were just in what we refer to as "The Great Recession." Tanya Clark supposrts my decision by giving statistics that shows their industry to be successful. She says, "The last fiscal year was Honda's best ever, the second consecutive "best" year. On a consolidated basis, sales were up 13.3% to ¥6 trillion (more than US$43.4 billion). Operating profits were up 15.2%, at ¥462 billion (nearly US$3.4 billion). Ordinary profits rose 13.5%, and aftertax profits of ¥261 billion (about US$1.9 billion) were up 17.8%." There's your statistics and facts so what more is needed?

Automotive -Ford

I would purchase the Ford Motor company. Ford Motor Company is a producer of cars and trucks. Ford and its auxiliaries also engage in other businesses, including financing vehicles. Operating under both Automotive and Financial Services, the Automotive division includes the operations of Ford North America, Ford South America, Ford Europe, Ford Asia Pacific Africa and Volvo. The Financial services contain the operations of Ford Motor Credit Company and Other Financial Services. According to the article by Jeff and Angela, Americans Saying ‘No’ to Toyota; Ford Most Popular (Update2) “Americans are turning against Toyota Motor Corp. after sudden-acceleration complaints forced it to recall more than 8 million vehicles worldwide, while Ford Motor Co. is the most popular automaker.” I would invest in Ford because it has a conservative risk tolerance. It is a large corporation that has long history and a fixed income.

Cell Phones - AT&T

I would buy AT&T because according to the stock market chart. AT&T is the one of the world's most leading providers of data, voice and high speed DSL Internet access service. AT&T have recieved a few honors through commitments kept and relationships developed with customers, employees and served communities. Due to the previous close (25.90)and opening with 25.95, I conclude that the service is slowly progressing. This means the stock did not drastically decrease or drastically increase. This shows that the stock has great potential and possibly will do the same in the future. AT&T is clearly a telecommunications company. I would also buy this stock based upon the products used such as the iphone. The iphone is a top selling phone currently being sold by at&t. Being a new product iphones hit the store with a bang!

I choose to invest in research in motion (RIMM). For today they are down .12% but according to analysts there will be a 28% fiscal growth for 2010. Todays hight is 75.22 which is closer to their yearly high of 88. according to christina wise in the research in motion article they are a solid sales growth in recent quaters. i am a blackberry user myself and the convenient bbm feature also plays an effect in my investment. i see this as a profitable future investment that will have a fair sales growth. Many consumers are buying blackberrys and this is definitely effecting the market. I personaly love the blackberry for its full keypad, internet, and instant messenging . As a coonsumer that supports RIMM i will buy this stock.

Cell Phones

I will invest in the Google Android ( Goog) because right now they are up 97 cents.

The previous close was 565.56, and so far todays high is 568.44 . Also according to the news article, studies show that users of the blackberry were willing to switch to either an iPhone or the Android. However, AAPL high for today is 224.42. I think that this stock has the potential to increase if we give it a little bit of time. Since I have this phone, i would recommend it to anyone. for that reason i think if people gave this phone a chance, they would buy it.

Cellphones: Verizon (VZ)

Verizon Wireless:

I will not purchase a stock within Verizon Wireless. Indeed, Verizon Wireless is one of the largest cell phone companies around the country. They are even said to have one of the most progressive industries, even with AT&T invention of the I-phone. Yes, Verizon Wireless has came out the Google Droid and seems to be the new cool phone out. After all it is touch screen, has a full keypad, and has all the latest apps in 4G! But don't let appearances fool you. According to my friends who own one, it is not such a great invention as one may believe. The service sucks, phone calls drop, apps take years to download and the battery goes dead at least 2 or 3 times during the day; yet still it is a cool looking phone so people continue to use Verizon Wireless' services. Thus, because everyone, especially teens, wants to be in tune with today's society, the Google Droid is their final decision. Because I trust my friends' decision and actually tried the Google Droid for a day and saw how much the service suck, I would not invest in their stock. It is too much of a risk; sure the phone had all the latest services, but what is the use if the phone is dead or all the apps that you enjoy take years to download and most importantly if your phone calls continuously drop?
Nonetheless, stock history also shows their progress to be successful in that their low has been $29.9500 which compared to their high ($30.2500) is not so bad. If you compare both rates to their closing ($30.1500) , you will see that Verizon is quite productive and successive as well. However on the other hand, although this may show that Verizon's stocks are successive when analyzing their money flow, you will see that it is at a continuous fluctuation; meaning at times they are successful, then they fall, they increase again, then fall and so on. In fact they fall more than they increase. This is a BIG problem. Investing in Verizon's stocks is like playing a very risky gamble and due to the fact that we are moderate spenders, this will be too much of a risk to take.
