These three stocks were stocks I thought that I could possibly have long-term trust in. I knew I had short-term goals with these stocks but I wanted to make sure my long-term expectations could be made. Throughout the 8 weeks I recorded my stocks, I had some gains and some losses. By the end of the time period, Starbucks, Apple and Google were all gains for my profit. From my start to finish I had some gains for myself. I know in the long-term you never know if you will gain or loss from the stocks you invest in. you have to research and read and look at over views and statistics before you entrust your money into a company. .
I was surprised with Google for being able to even go up in their prices because of how high their cost already is, but they manage to survive. Google has some competition with other search engines and companies but they are a good company for short-term use. I was also impressed with Apple and how much they went up during the 8 week period. Apple most likely went up the most because of the new iPhone 6 and other devices that Apple has released these past couple of months. Apple too with their competition with Microsoft and Samsung has been able to keep their stocks at a pretty straight line. They are very consistent with their products and try to impress their customers and bring in new ones. For a very popular company and a well-known brand, I am surprised at Apple's stock prices. You would think they would be just as expensive as Google stocks or maybe even more. Many people do invest in Apple Stock because since 2007, Apple has been going up. .
Starbucks stocks also rose during the 8 weeks. I believe that because it was during the Pumpkin Spice season and holiday drinks. Because drinks like these only come out during certain times of the year, more customers come into the store. Starbucks also is a good long-term stock to have chosen because they have and try to have different products for their customers to be intrigued by.
