Journal
This week i decided not to invest in anything because my stocks hadn't had any drastic changes that would cause me to take any action. One stock that i bought at the very beginning of the game was Randgold Resources. Randgold Resources belongs to the Basic Material sector. I thought this would be a good investment because gold seems to always do pretty good even when the stock market is doing bad. I bought this stock for $ 101.73 and i did this because according to their 52 week information, this was in the middle, leaving much room to grow.
