20% Month Two

This month I've finally figured out what I'm going to be doing for my twenty percent project. I have a question written out on a piece of large paper that I will hang out in the lunch room soon. There are a few answers on it already to help people be willing to answer as well. I haven't quite gotten it up because it's been pretty busy and wacky for the past couple weeks. The point of this is to let teenagers open up their own independent thoughts and think about the questions before answering them.

Blackjack=Stocks?

Blackjack is similar to stocks because it's sort of a risky game. If you place more into a stock, there's a chance that you'll win big money or lose a lot of money depending on the luck of the stock. It also has to do with teamwork, because owning stocks isn't about competition with other people that have that stock, but you want to work together and make sure everyone is getting fair game.

The top two would be the wizards and the barbarians. Wizards were ranked as a manager and the barbarians were labled as the laborers. Wizards were placed as a manager because they have a little bit of housing space, but they walk behind and do a lot of damage. Barbarians were placed as laborers because they do a lot of work and are often in front.

The two stocks that I picked were Nexstar Broadcasting and Google.

I picked Nexstar due to its success as of recently. Nexstar Broadcasting is known for running 91 TV stations in the USA. Out of these 91, most of them run with 4 of the most major networks. They have a strong financial growth, with 2013 net revenues reaching around 502 million dollars in amount. Nexstar also builds its company around a diversified media company. Some major stations in it's portfolio would be ABC, NBC, and FOX.

Google was my other choice because of the possibility that it could be considered a 'forever stock'. With technology becoming an absolute norm for our generation and more generations to come, Google is likely to last many decades. Google is one of the most competitive companies in the world, and is good for a long-term stock. Google reported earnings per share being  $12.01 on $16.86 billion in revenue. Many people use Google as a search engine every day, and their smartphone that will be coming out is also likely to bring more money to Google.
