Assignment 1

Go to www.cnbc.com and explore the video tab using the key term diversification. As you learned in this unit, there are various sources of information. Watch at least three videos you find, list the videos you viewed, and provide a summary of the type of information that the video contained and how it relates to this unit. Suppose you win the lottery. What would you do if you decided to invest the money in the market? How would you diversify your portfolio and why?

Assignment 2

Please respond to my classmate response to the discussion question.

The first video I watched on diversification suggested that individuals investing in the market should steer away from the U.S. dollar (www.cnbc.com, 2018). The speaker acknowledge the fact that the U.S. dollar was the most successful, yet one should consider investing in other markets,e.g. the yen. (www.cnbc.com, 2018). The second video was an interview with the CEO of a successful technology company (www.cnbc.com, 2018). The speaker explained that diversification is one of the primary ways to grow a company in the market place (www.cnbc.com, 2018). The third video I watched was of a CEO who credited the success of his company's 6% increase to great execution of diversification (www.cnbc.com, 2018). If I one the lottery, I would most likely invest in several companies. I'm not sure exactly which companies I would invest with at the moment because it would require much research for me. However, one of the investments will be made with a company overseas.
