We bought into a few big names this week hoping that they can help us out to get to that top spot. Not sure if investing in the big stocks will help or if we should go into penny stocks. It is always a gamble in the penny market, and our portfolio just can't handle it right now I don't think. We do need to play it safe to beat the market.
Telus was our first buy. With the recent release of the I pad and I phone 4 we believe that having a wireless company in the books is pretty smart. If only we had thought of it earlier in the game. People will be flocking to buy these items for Christmas and there is a need for a wireless provider to get them on the network. New phones from other companies as well will only help with the people buying from Telus. Telus has released their new television program as well called Optic TV. It is supposedly faster and easier to use than the other companies digital cable. We will find out. This is a great buy though.
On the American side we chose to buy stocks from the Starbucks Corporation. We chose this company because they have a “STARBUCKS red” card that customers can buy and use for purchases. The proceeds from the red card go to the Global fund that helps people who live in Africa with HIV. To date, the contributions have provided the patients with enough medicine to last up to 14,000,000 days. http://www.starbucks.com/responsibility/community/starbucks-red a phenomenal program.
Lastly we bought stock in Coke. The polar bears are back and this is apparently the biggest sales season for the soda king. People love to support the efforts of coke when they are saving the polar bears. Kind of a really cool program where through MyCokeRewards program people can earn points and donate to the wildlife fund. Coke has made it clear that they want to help reduce the environmental footprint that humans put on the earth.
We seem to invest in companies that are doing good things for the world lately. The giving season is upon us I suppose and we will support those that feel the same way. This method will only pay dividends!
