Journal for Week 8:

This week i am making an investment on two different stocks. One is the (ABT) Abbott Laboratories. It looks like a very good stock. In 1985 though it started out very low, but then began to rise. In the 52 week range it states that this stock is going to go from 45 to about 56 dollars. ABT has a dividend of 1.92 which is 3.60%. Its competitors are Merck and Company Inc. and Roche HLDG LTD Spons. Merck started out alright then dropped a little bit. Roche started out better then both these stocks but then severley dropped. So right now Abbott is doing better then any of them.

The other stock im thinking about making a trade in is CPB (Campbell Soup Co.). This stock i believe will be doing very good do to the weather. Since it is cold more people are going to be wanting soup instead of anything else because its a quick meal. In the 52 week range for this its suppose to go up from 29.69 to 35.66. And even though im thinking about doing this as a trade it has a dividend of 1.16(3.50%). This stock started out pretty good, then had a sudden drop, but is now going up. Its competitors are GSI (General Mills co.) and HNZ (Heinz Company). GSI started out good, but now its doing horrible. HNZ didn't have the best start out but it also dropped way lower. So in this case as of right now CPB is the best stock.
