Stock Market Simulation
Each of you will participate in a stock market simulation for the next 15 weeks. You will be given a hypothetical $10,000 to invest and will be required to choose 5 companies to invest that money across. You will track that investment and each week you will spend time in class checking your stock and keeping a written record of its price change.
PART I: Writing
Choose 5 companies to invest in throughout the duration of this semester. For each company, you will need to provide the following:
– Summary about the company you chose
– Facts about the company
– Why you chose to buy stock in this company
PART II: Charts
Create a chart, including each week’s value, for each of your companies. You will be monitoring your stocks in class once a week.
PART III: Performance Summary
Write a detailed performance summary of each of your companies over the 15-week period
PART IV: Debrief
Using what you’ve learned and observed over the course of 15 weeks, write a 12-17 sentence paragraph answering the following:
– What was your biggest gainer?
– What was your biggest loser?
– Did you make money overall or did you lose money? List your totals.
– Which stock in your portfolio had very little change? What was your most volatile stock?
– Did you (or did you want to) sell any of your stocks before it dropped? Which ones and why?
– If you could do the project over again, what changes would you make?

Part I Example:
United Parcel Service (SUMMARY)
There’s a compelling business behind those big brown trucks. In its own words: “Founded in 1907 as a messenger company in the United States, UPS has grown into a $30 billion corporation by clearly focusing on the goal of enabling commerce around the globe. Today UPS, or United Parcel Service Inc.,is a global company with one of the most recognized and admired brands in the world. We have become the world’s largest package delivery company and a leading global provider of specialized transportation and logistics services.”
FACTS ABOUT THE COMPANY
Annual revenues top $33 billion.
The firm employs more than 350,000 people, about 40,000 of whom are international.
UPS delivers some 13.6 million packages and documents daily, 2 million by air.
It serves more than 200 countries and territories.
It serves about 8 million customers daily, picking up from about 2 million and delivering to about
6 million.
It manages 1,748 operating facilities; 88,000 cars, vans, tractors, and motorcycles; 266 UPS
aircraft; and 316 chartered aircraft.
Its supply-chain solutions business generates a total of more than $2 billion yearly, from more
than 750 locations in 120 or more nations.
Why UPS
Below are some reasons I chose UPS for my portfolio:
It has solid profit margins. Whereas FedEx sports a net profit margin in the neighborhood of 3%, UPS’s margins approach 11% and they’ve been growing. That’s a big difference, revealing that UPS is able to operate its business less expensively, and thereby keep more of each dollar of revenue. To some degree, this difference is tied to UPS’s lesser reliance on aircraft for many deliveries.
It’s got a protective moat around its ground delivery business. FedEx is encroaching on this territory, as is the U.S. Postal Service, but ultimately, matching or beating it will be hard to do. Meanwhile, UPS is encroaching on FedEx’s higher-margin express delivery services.
It has strong and growing cash flow. UPS generates a lot of cash and has been steadily generating more and more of it. In recent years, it has been coughing up more than twice the cash flow of FedEx.
