Assignments:  You will be “given” $10,000 on the first day of the course to invest in the stock market.  You must invest in a minimum of five (5) stocks – and you MUST have one technology stock, one pharmaceutical stock, and one financial stock; your other picks are of your choosing.  

Assignment 1 requires a three-page write-up on the rationale for why you chose the stocks you did; in this write-up, you can include any information you found pertinent in making your stock selections.
