...Portfolio Report The stock trak game was a great opportunity to gain first-hand experience with making trades in the stock market. The experience we gained through the game gave us the ability to manage large sums of money, giving us the opportunity to recognize the importance of preparing and utilizing portfolios in the career development process, to be aware of the component parts that make your portfolio effective, and to understand how to compile and present your portfolio in a professional manner. The initial round of investments to our portfolio was comprised of seven domestic stocks. The main goal was to acquire stable, well-known companies that would pose low risk. These stocks were selected with minimal analysis due to their market capitalizations and the associated company’s reputations. We selected several Blue chip stocks, because they appeared to match our goals of stability and minimizing risk. Since these companies are very large, well established corporations, we understood that the possibility of significant growth in equity is unlikely due to the established maturity of the companies. For this reason, we did not expect to earn our largest return in this area of our portfolio, but instead we were hoping for small growth, while collecting dividends. The first stock purchased was Microsoft (MSFT). Microsoft is a large cap computer software company, listed on the Nasdaq. We purchased 1500 shares at 33.00/share. We still maintain...

Mineta International Institute for Surface Transportation Policy Studies (MTI) was established by Congress as part of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991.

BARMEDA ROLL NO...2016 Session : 2009-2010 HISTORY OF RELIANCE The Milwaukee Land Company purchased land from C.C. and Anna Herron for a town site in 1905 and the town was named Herron, but changed to Reliance when it was decided that the name Herron sounded too much like Huron. To the southwest stood a town site named Dirkstown and all of the buildings from there were moved into Reliance once it was learned the railroad would not be going through Dirkstown. Town sites were set up by the railroad company at about 10-mile intervals. Businesses, of the day, were set up immediately, probably the land office being the first. That and the first bank and the newspaper to advertise the land transactions. The lots sold for $200 for corner lots, $150 for inside business lots, $150 for residential corner lots and $100 for inside residential lots. Peter B.
