Investment Project 1 for September 16, 2007

Well, I decided to create a new category in my blog that focuses on a possible investment portfolio. This is all hypothetical, so do not make decisions just on my below information. These investment project posts are only “what if’s”–meaning what if I bought this stock, how much will I make or lose in the future? For this investment project, I will start out with $1,000 and pretend to invest it in various stocks. Then I will post the results of my investments whether it be a gain or loss later this week and/or next week.

My investment decisions are below. My stock decisions are from a variety of sectors. In the future, I will focus my investment decisions more to narrow down my portfolio. But I diversified my portfolio more than usual to see how the stock market will act when the Fed makes their announcement on September 18 about possible rate cuts.
