I bought the apple stock as an investment. I bought this because it has a strong five year graph with a steady increase. So far this stock has done good for me, but my fault was buying only one stock. I will not being selling this stock for at least another month, but considering this class only goes for a semester I will try to pinpoint the highest earnings in December and sell it then.
I also bought the under armor stock as a trade. So far it is not working out too well for me as it keeps decreasing. When the stock changes and is five dollars above what I bought it for, then I will sell it. I didn't entirely understand what to do when I first bought it, so i have held for a long time as far as a trade goes. When the holidays hit and their prices increase, the amount will be just right and I will sell it for a profit.
