Team Saweet Week 1

After the first week we are sitting pretty at number 3 on the US side. On the Canadian side however we have not really moved from 15th spot.

In American stocks we bought into Anheuser-Busch Brewery. We believe that there will be a good jump in the price as the NFL and NHL are starting, as well as the CFL being in full swing and the MLB coming into playoffs. All of these seasons have a great impact on beer sales and Budweiser as well as the other beers in the Busch family are going to have a great sales increase.

Another stock we bought into was Staples. School just started back up and banks, and companies are coming up to their year end. Staples will have a good increase in sales and should stay busy for the next few months.

Lastly we bought into Netflix. This company has just opened their Canadian division and they have a growing inventory. The premise behind this company is to stream all of your favorite videos from the internet to your tv or computer or mobile device. The cost is only $8.00 per month for users. We believe that there will be a great leap in stock price over the next few months. Also looking back over the past 3 months Netflix has jumped from $116 to $160. This is a good investment.

On the Canadian side we bought into Tim Horton's. There is no doubt that Tim Horton's will continue to grow. It is a Canadian monster! There is a great article that is titled "How Tim Horton's Will Take Over The World"

Over the past few weeks Tim Horton's has taken a little bit of a hit, but will come back very strong, as the minor hockey leagues are starting up and winter is coming up very quickly. This is the busy time for Tims and we KNOW that we will make money off of this investment.
