Stock Market Project

Power point project
Pick one company.
You must create a power point for that company.
The goal of the power point is to inform the class on the following things:

What is the company?
What does it do? Use the company’s profile on yahoo finance as the source. ( Research and learn. Don’t tell us what you think they do)
What other companies and or products do they own / produce?
What is the stock's currently price? ( time / date/ price)
Find a current headline( from yahoo finance) that explains something that is going on with the company. Briefly explain it.
How has the company’s stock been doing over the last 52 weeks?
Cut and paste pictures/ charts/ graphs onto the power point. Not a lot of words are needed. Your explanation of these is the important thing.
Do power point on your gmail account.
Make it attractive to the eye!
