Commercial, Industrial, and Servce Businesses

You deal with businesses every day. Business provides most of the products and services that our economy needs in order to function. Here is a list of some stock tickers of companies you might be familiar with. Some, you might not find as familiar.

MCD, DIS, WAG, APA, CBS, BA, XOM, F, GM, CVS, WM, WMT, AEO, NKE, TGT, LOW, BBY, KSS, SBUX, DRI, AAP, AZO, ORLY, T, KO, HD, TWTR, HD, FB, APPL, MSFT, GOOG, AMZN

You'll draw one of these at random and look up the following using Yahoo Finance.

Company Name
Stock Price
Dividend and Yeild %
52 Week Range
Market Cap
P/E Ratio
Earnings Date
Is the business classified as industrial, commercial or service?

Also, locate and read 3 articles on the company and it's current challenges and opportunities. List the three URLs. Do you think this stock would be a good investment?

Keep in mind that 3 things have to happen for a stock to significantly rise:

1. It has to make money.
2. It has to beat the earnings estimate.
3. Future projections have to be readjusted higher.

Put all of this in an e-mail and send it to me by midnight tomorrow night.
