"Check your stock price and report. Check the prices on December 4 not before that. Write and turn in a paragraph explaining the performance of your picks, would you hold the investment longer, would you sell the investment, and do you consider yourself a risky, or risk adverse investor.
Show information on your pick. Make sure to calculate your profit or loss and rate of return. Note these are not current prices."
