Good and Bad

• All of our stocks did fairly well and never went in the negatives

• Our best stock would have to be Toyota Motors because it had the highest gains per share, we made 17.60% increase and a $10,295.71 gain.

• The worst stock is probably the Corn Products International, with only a $977 gain it did the least work for us.

We didn’t even think that we would come close to being up in the top 10; but we did and just watched the stocks, and guessed what to do as in buy

or sell.
