My new media portfolio -- before and after!
OMG, I lost quite a lot of money - 45% to be exact. I have only $5,523 left.
Look back at my picks (red text is the current status):
(with confidence???)
Amazon: 50 shares x $72.41 (now $41.51) = $3,621 (now $2,075)
Down 40%
(with trust and some excitement. Well...)
Google: 9 shares x $447.44 (now $270.3) = $4,027 (now $2,432)
Down 42%
(based on perceived potential), perception is just perception
Baidu: 8 shares x $267.7 (now $114.72) = $2,142 (now $917.76)
Down 59%
(with curiosity only), which is quite expensive
NYTimes: 14 shares x $14.72 (now $7.13)= $206 (now $99.8)
Down 52%
Total: $9996 ($5,523)
I guess we are all happy this is just an exercise. And the lesson is: Don't trust anyone, including your professor.

media stock investment plans
Here are the three companies I would like to invest in:
Thomson Reuters
I want to invest in this company just because they bought over one of the worlds most trusted news agencies - Reuters. Thomson Reuters is currently the world's largest international multimedia news agency, on video, mobile, and interactive television platforms. It would be interesting to see what the company is going to do after this merger.
In April 2008, The Thomson Corporation bought over Reuters Group for nearly 16 billion dollars. In the first week of September, JP Morgan named Thomson Reuters as a top pick in the European publishing sector. According to Forbes Magazine, Thomson-Reuters is the largest entity in the financial data area with approximately 34 per cent of the market share. Bloomberg, a privately held information service, has 33 per cent of the market with about 20 other firms splitting the rest of the market.
Warner Music Group
The company went public in May 2005, and operates through two businesses: Recorded Music and Music Publishing. Its Recorded Music catalog includes albums including The Eagles and Led Zeppelin IV. Its Music Publishing business holds more than one million copyrights.
The company announced today a series of corporate management appointments, effective immediately, to further drive progress on the company's strategy to identify and exploit growth opportunities in the evolving global music business.
News Corporation
News Corporation is a diversified global media company with operations in several media industry segments including television, cable network programming, newspapers and book publishing. The company is operational in the United States, Continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, Asia and the Pacific Basin.
The company recently acquired MySpace, one of the fastest-growing entertainment sites with 15.5 million unique visitors in May, according to comScore Networks. That's up from one million in June 2004.
