Media Stock Competition

Each one of you will invest up to $10,000 on 1-3 publicly listed media companies. The goal is to make as much $ as possible.

You decision should be based on research as opposed to guesswork.

Create a portfolio on Yahoo Finance and monitor the performance of your picks over time.

You will present your portfolio a week from today. Assume you are an experienced market analyst. Your 12-15 minute presentation should include the following:

1. A general introduction to the media market you decide to invest in (e.g., newspapers, TV, or any traditional or new media industry), including major players, audience/user size, the state of the industry, recent development, future outlook, etc.

2. Which company would you recommend the most? Why?

3. Which company would you not recommend at all? Why?

4. Your portfolio (share price, number of shares, etc.)

At the end of semester we'll revisit your stock portfolio and determine the winner!

Recommended materials: Online tutorial on "Reading Financial Reports," "Making Investment Decisions," and many more are available on lynda.com (free access for all UT students) in case you are interested in learning more about finance and investment. But you should be able to complete the exercise without these.
