Stock Picks :: GCSE Business Marketing Coursework

Stock PicksBefore I cheer a security, it is necessary for me to establish a few assumptions about the nature of my investment perspective. I am 22 years of age and then am less averse to risk. Therefore, my investment condemnation horizon is really long due to my age.My first stock pick is base upon the antecedent assumptions and also the following one Economic activity proceeds at a brisk rate as in 1999. Since this would indicate a bull market, I would choose a stock in the engine room sector. I choose Gateway, ticker symbol (GTW). In the months to come, this company go away start flooding the market with what is known as Internet Appliances, or IAs. These are inexpensive network computers with the network being the Internet. They will put up to consumers who involve Web access but dont want the cost, technical problems, and maintenance that comes with a PC. However. That doesnt necessarily mean PCs are going away in the foreseeable prox Gateway plans on making profit f rom these IAs by sign deals with communications giants like America Online to be ISPs. GTW recently traded at $56 a share, with a P/E of 30.6. This equals an EPS of $1.83.In my next stock-pick, I still presume the assumptions in the first paragraph, and also I take aim to make a different assumption Continued economic result leads to an inflationary environment in 2000. For these economic conditions, I feel unify Technologies Corporation, symbol (UTX), is an appropriate stock. One of the 30 stocks on the Dow Jones Industrials, United Technologies Corporation, based in Hartford, Connecticut, provides a broad range of high technology products and book services to the building systems and aerospace industries. Those products include Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines, space propulsion systems and industrial muff turbines Carrier heating, air conditioning and refrigeration Otis elevator, escalator and spate movers Hamilton Sundstrand aerospace and industrial products Sikorsky helic opters and International Fuel Cells power systems.In the news may 3, 2000, Otis Elevator Co. landed a contract Tuesday worth more(prenominal) than $8 million to supply 31 elevators to the Hearst Tower building in Charlotte, N.C. This is indicative of the activity this company will have into the future time horizon of the next few months. Thus being a blue chip stock, it has been relatively stable the past few years as compared to the S&P 500. In fact it has outperformed it consistently the past 5 years.
