Google

Google was my first choice for an investment. (Sadly, it didn’t do so hot, but ah well. Live and learn.) I used a forbes.com article called “Let’s be Friends!” in my decision to invest in Google. The article talked about Google’s new plans to develop an “OpenSocial” toolkit for sites that are trying to build social networks similar to Facebook.com’s extremely popular system. The search engine giant had partnered with numerous small companies in an effort to build a social network to rival Facebook’s. And at the time, it seemed to be working, as many small websites that were based off of Facebook’s software abandoned ship, and migrated to Google at the first sign of an offer. Although it seemed like a relatively small and safe investment, as Google didn’t stand to lose much if the deal fell through, it seemed like a very safe bet for me, and it looked like the news would buoy Google’s stocks to higher numbers, as the giant had recently broken 700, and appeared that it would only be rising in the near future. After all, a combination of Google’s massive advertising dollars and search engine power, in conjunction with a network of small social networks doesn’t seem like a bad idea, now does it? And even if the deal fell through, Google itself wouldn’t be impacted much at all.







Coca-Cola
A yahoo.com article is what spurred me to select Coca-Cola as one of my stocks of choice. This article stated that Coca-Cola had recently sold its Minute Maid building in the Galleria area, in preparation for a move to Sugar Land, wherever that is. The article gave me a couple of good reasons to invest. The first one is that Coca-Cola co. would be receiving a large windfall of cash from selling what was billed as the largest block of contiguous office space in the Galleria area. And as you might expect, a large windfall of cash into a company usually means that stock prices are going to rise, as the company is now worth more. The second reason is that the move into Sugar Land means a new frontier for Coca-Cola to invest in, and possibly gain another windfall of business by expanding their production facilities into an unmined area of business, which of course, will lead to a windfall of money, and yes, another increase in the price of Coca-Cola stock. And what is the third reason? Well, I just really love Coca-Cola products so much, that I had to invest in them.









General Electric
Once more, Yahoo.com’s financial news pointed me to a good stock to invest in. The article reported that GE was planning a 40 million dollar return to Schenectady, the original home of GE’s first headquarters. The return will create 500 new jobs, and restore a measure of hope and light to the Electric City. This was a very good reason to invest in GE, as it signaled numerous things. The first was the beginning of a new series of improvements to GE’s structure, creating new jobs and opportunities where new plants are being built. A second reason is that this is a very good PR move for General Electric, as the move casts their new plans in a very favorable light by many. The third reason is simply that the new moves will result in a handy stock boost for GE, as the expansions begin to give investors confidence in GE, and spark a very useful windfall in cash for the company, which will of course, send stock prices up, resulting in a very favorable time to invest in General Electric, buying while the prices are still low, to reap the benefits when the prices go up. And of course, the demand for electricity continues to go up as our population and numbers of buildings continue to grow. GE is a very safe bet, or at least it was when I invested in it.







Toyota
Once more, Yahoo.com led me to find what I thought was a good stock to invest in. The article said that Toyota’s 2nd quarter profit had risen by 11 percent to a new company sales record, and had raised the fiscal year outlook. The news from Toyota struck a sharp contrast with its rivals, especially General Motors, who had lost record amounts. According to the article, Toyota’s line of hybrids and strong sales in the home and overseas markets had propelled it to the top spot among automakers. Toyota had sold a record 4.3 million vehicles in the first half of the fiscal year, up 3.8 percent from last year. As a result, Toyota raised its profit forecast from 14.5 billion dollars to 14.8 billion, based on the new record. This is obviously a very good time to invest in Toyota. With surging profits, the company is going to be in very good financial shape for quite some time, which will surely increase the confidence of its investors. And as we all know, investor confidence leads to a jump in stock prices. And that means that the best time to buy stock in Toyota is now, before I get left in the dust by the hopefully coming jump in stock prices.








Nokia
A yahoo.com article led me to think Nokia was a good stock to invest in, as it seemed like a safe bet.
