(AMZN), a blue chip, Coca-Cola Company (KO), and LG Display Co., Ltd (LPL). I spent $29,959.14 to buy 797 shares of the stock. At the closing date, I earned $628.08, and it is around $0.79 per share. First, I invested in AMZN $10,546.50, 50 shares and I earned $519.50 more. Second, $11,947.36 was spent on 178 shares of KO and I also earned $108.58. However, unfortunately, the stock price of LPL at closing date was the same to the beginning price, so I didn’t get any profits through 569 shares of LPL. Actually, all three companies’ stock price went up on July 19 because inventors expected that the problem about the debt would be solved, and America economy would improve. According to Yahoo! Finance, the bipartisan six senators offered a major plan to resolve the problem, and the president, Obama, seemed to approve this plan. However, after a few days, the federal government didn’t raise the debt ceiling; in addition, Greek economy’s outlook was not good. Therefore, inventors were disappointed, and many analysts were worried about America economy. This made the stock price decease, but AMZN’s price didn’t go down due to their great profits on second-quarter according to Briefing. Company Stock Prices Analysis 1. Amazon.com Inc.
