Week 1 Investing Reflection Tips and Tricks Discussion Discussion: Reflection, Tips and Tricks – Best Practices?This is the first of our portfolio discussion forums. It will be a chance for us to post our initial portfolio selections for the class to consider. It will also be a chance for us to share our experience with the Stock Track virtual stock market tool. Some may have had an intuitive navigation through the tool(s). However, there is much excess information available in the stock track website…so don’t feel overwhelmed if it wasn’t an easy first time through. Week 1 Discussion: Reflection, Tips and Tricks – Best Practices?
This is the first of our portfolio discussion forums. It will be a chance for us to post
our initial portfolio selections for the class to consider. It will also be a chance for us to
share our experience with the Stock Track virtual stock market tool. Some may have
had an intuitive navigation through the tool(s). However, there is much excess
information available in the stock track website…so don’t feel overwhelmed if it wasn’t
an easy first time through.
What I would like for you to do is post an introductory thread that has your positions
that you chose to include in your portfolio. I would also like your rationale for choosing
the equities (or other investments) that you chose to include. This rationale could be
as basic or informed as you can demonstrate. Remember, the idea of this class is that
you have very limited exposure to the stock market. Therefore, you may have rationale
that includes “I have always been interested in Google for reason XYZ….(unrelated to
past or suspected future performance). Also, your knowledge may be far advanced
from the rest of us based on academic/professional/personal experiences. Therefore,
your rationale would theoretically be based on more informed decision making
tools/methods. The later discussion forums will allow us to demonstrate our growth
and reflection on what we originally had as rationale or even portfolio positions. Even
those that are more informed will have the opportunity to reflect as to whether their
informed decision played out as expected. Remember that even if we think a company
is going to perform strongly…we never REALLY know how the market will react. It is
still a gamble. However, just like in sports or any other risk endeavor, those who are
more informed are in a better position to make it out on the winning side.
I would also like for you to identify if there are any items that you found on the website
that were particularly helpful…or particularly frustrating. If a classmate demonstrates
something that resonates with you, let them know…even if you already knew, let them
know. If it helped you, also let them know. If someone presents an issue that they
cannot find or understand or navigate something, help them out! This will allow for our
group dynamic to resonate through the forums.
Remember, there are two components that make up your discussion grade. You are
graded on participation and leadership. This guidance aspect and community sharing
that I reference above is going to showcase your discussion leadership.
Post your current portfolio with rationale (feel free to respond to classmates that had
similar positions or completely different positions)
Share best practices and/or frustrations
Build on your classmates best practices with feedback to them…or help them through
their frustrations
Best of luck!
