MSP week 5

Who did you interview?  Why?

I interviewed my dad because he is in an investment club and is good at budgeting money.

What  did they say that surprised you?

Nothing he said really suprised me

What did you learn from the conversation?

That investing in good companies and putting a good amount of money in the stock market is a good idea.

MSP week 3

What  did you learn about  your cause/organization?  I learned that just recently our organizations have helped almost half a million vets get jobs in the field of their choices.  They hosted a huge event and had many companies show up and interview people for jobs.

Why is it important to look at the numbers before  making an investment? What  did you learn about  your organizations when  you looked at their

tax returns?  It is important because if you invest in a company that isn't actually doing what they say they are then you could be out a-lot of money and not actually help out the people you are trying to help.  We learned that our company is doing financially well and that they arn't putting the money that we will donate into other things. 

MSP week 4

What  are you learning about  the various ways  to evaluate an investment in a company?  Do you see more value  to one method over another?  If the company answers quickly and knows what they are talking about I feel like I can trust them more.  I value the methods of just asking them questions straight up and if they don't know the question then i feel like i shouldn't donate to a charity that can't answer questions on themselves.

Are you finding  that it’s easy  or difficult  to evaluate non-profit organizations

for a potential investment in their cause? I am finding it more difficult then i first thought that it would be because I can't know for shure if they are giving me all the right facts.  They could easily fake facts and unless I know everything about them then they would be able to get away with it.
