4         I   invested   almost   $7,426   for   71   shares   of   PKX   stock   on   July   18.   From   the   day   I   bought   the   shares,   the   price   per   the   share   of   PKX   kept   increasing   until   nearly   $113,   which   is   the   highest   point   on   July   25.   According   to   Zacks   Investment   Research,   POSCO   reported   its   second   quarter   2011   financial   results.   The   revenue   POSCO   got   on   the   second   quarter  has  gradually  increased  22.6%  compared  to  the  year-­‐ago  quarter.   Nevertheless,  you  can  see  that  price  per  share  of  PKX  stock  rapidly  went   down  on  July  29  and  went  up  again  in  a  day.  According  to  REUTERS,  Steel   Authority  of  India  Ltd,  which  is  the  largest  domestic  steel  producer,  may   reduce   the   costs   of   its   raw   material.   Conversely,   the   price   per   share   increased   till   the   price   on   the   day   before   it   went   down.   REUTERS   reported  that  POSCO  is  going  to  join  the  lithium  battery  business,  which  is   international  between  South  Korea  and  Bolivia.  So,  this  factor  causes  the   movement  of  stock  price.     Consequently,   the   difference   of   price   between   opening   date   and   closing  date  is  almost  $6,  so  I  was  able  to  earn  $426.71  in  total.  The  profit   is  quite  fine  till  now,  and  I  can  expect  that  POSCO  have  various  potential   and  it  can  bring  profits.  For  these  reasons,  I  will  buy  more  shares  on  this   company  if  I  have  more  money  to  enable  to  invest.   Summary  Table:   Company     YHOO   MSFT   PKX                                   Share  Price   No.  of     Shares     7/18/2011   8/1/2011   $14.42   $13.10   521   $26.59   $27.27   566   $104.59   $110.60   71   Total   1158   Opening   Date   7/18/2011   $7,512.82   $15,049.94   $7,425.89   $29,988.65   Closing   Total   Date   Profit   8/1/2011   $6,825.10   -­‐$687.72   $15,434.82   $384.88   $7,852.60   $426.71   $30,112.52   $123.87
