As a team, we decided that the best stocks to
invest in would be fairly new companies that
were branching out to new places.
Stocks like Buffalo Wild Wings and Exelon turned
out to be the catalysts of stocks in the ones that
we chose. On the other hand, the other stocks
that we purchased (Urban Outfitters and
Thompson Ads) did not produce any profit over
the months.
If we were to do it again, we would chose stocks
with similar statistics to Buffalo Wild Wings and
Exelon.
