This project is due at the end of Module 5.

In this project, you will play a stock game using the free virtual stock market trading site “How the Market Works” (http://www.howthemarketworks.com/trading/index.php?src=goog) to practice trading real stocks using imaginary money to learn how the Market works and to gain experience with virtual trading. After you are done with the game, you will produce a paper on your experience.

Please download “How the Market Works”Directions.pdf to learn how to sign up, navigate the “How the Market Works” website and play the game.

The schema (outline) for the fantasy stock assignment will include five sections. Please use the bolded words as level I headings in your paper:

Please use the five section themes as level I headings in the paper:

Introduction (Use the title of the paper, not the word introduction.)

The Stocks

Diversification

Risk and Return

Financial Results

Introduction: What the purpose of the project is and what you anticipate learning from it. All research and academic papers should have a purpose statement.

The stocks: Explain the stocks you picked for your portfolio and why. Discuss some of the fundamental financials such as sales, revenue, cash-flow, and income, what attracted you to the company? Think about the various financial statements we discussed (or will discuss) in class: a) income statement; b) balance sheet; c) statement of cash flows; and d) reconciliation of net worth.

A short discussion of diversification: Please begin with a formal definition of diversification and include a citation/reference. Why is diversification important? How did you diversify your portfolio? If you didn’t diversify your portfolio, that’s ok, just tell us why.

Risk and return: Please begin with a formal definition of beta and include a citation/reference Did you choose high or low volatility companies to invest in? I suggest you do some research on Beta (volatility) and how this might or might not have had an influence of your choice of companies in your portfolio.

Financial results: How did your portfolio perform? Did you earn a profit, (we say earn a profit because you took the risk of investing in a particular company) or lose money. Would you pick the same stocks again? Would you purchase these stocks in reality? What did you learn?

The paper should follow APA 6th edition. and should have a cover and reference page.

details:
This paper is on the book ‘Site’s of Memory’ by Jay Winter. Answer 2 of the 3 questions and follow the prompt as needed. Make sure to focus on the part of the prompt that discusses citations. They are important, and needed in this essay.
Thank you.

It will be graded for: 1-a clear thesis, 2-depth of analysis, and 3-grammatical accuracy.
For an answer in the A range:
Student answers all questions clearly and accurately; answers are well-developed and provide examples and appropriate analytical detail where necessary; answers are well-articulated, and are presented in full, grammatically correct sentences. Answers incorporate quotes and supporting material from text and includes parenthetical references to appropriate page numbers and documentation for outside sources.

Do not make any claim or argument without some supporting evidence based on quotations. You MUST cite the page numbers in parentheses after the citation from the book (whenever possible). Your answers should show your command of the text. Quotes should have relevance. Do not use quotes that are “toss-aways”-meaning you picked some quote, any quote, because you writing at the last minute.

Your grammar, sentence structure, and paragraph structure are part of your grade. I prefer you use 12 point font, 1″ margins, and single space to save paper. They MUST have an analytic component. No analysis means that your starting baseline is automatically 80 points, not 100.

I. Sites of Memory Prompt; Answer two questions.

1. As clearly as possible, reiterate Winter’s thesis and argue for or against it, or modify it. It may be helpful (but not necessary) to situate him with Paul Fussell’s work, which he mentions.

2. What roles do “fictive” kinship and spiritualism play in mourning?

3. Winter notes a number of artists and writers as carriers of the war’s “apocalyptic” vision. Which one of these artists or writers struck you the most, and why?

Look over the sample essays in the attached document, then:

1) Does personal material (using I and your own experience, etc.) work in each essay? If so, how so? If not, why not? Can you think of any guidelines or reasons for using personal material in an analytical essay? Why might you not/have you been taught not to use personal materials in analytical writing?

2) How does each essay handle writing about artifacts–can you describe how the author discusses, analyzes, and/or describes the object? Are any of these descriptions more effective or ineffective? How so?

3) How does each essay handle combining item use and analysis? At once? Separately? In a particular way?

4) Describe how each author brings cultural connections into his or her essay. Does the essay or its ways of discussing cultural connections seem particularly effective? How so (or not)?
