Week FOUR..

Transaction- MEDTRONIC
After looking at my profile, I realized most of my sectors were technical. It would make sense to look into a medical company. I decided to look at Medtronic (MDT) which is a large cap company that manufactures and sells devised-base medical therapies through out the world. Another reason why I choose to look into this company is because I personally buy producst from this company for my diabetes. Right now, Medtronic's cost would be $32.66 per share. That is a decent price because the 52 week $30.18-$43.33. Obviously, the price is pretty low.  I predict that the company will keep rising slowly and cost $37.50 per share within a few weeks. The reason why I think it will take some time to increase is because it sells stuff at a some-what slow consistent pace. I couldn't find a catalyst, but this company comes out with new products only every now and then. MDT offers a dividend of 2.9%. A competitor to this company would be Johnson and Johnson (JNJ). At this time, Johnson and Johnson is doing better financially compared to MDT. This gives me even a better reason to trade in now because MDT is lower in price and will most likely improve to match up or do better with JNJ.


GREEN- JNJ    BLUE-MDT
Time span- 3 years
 In JNJ profile information, it didn't mention that it worked globally, because of that, I think MDT has even better reason to improve since it does work worldwide. I will keep watching MDT and short sell it if it does increase its price per share within a month.
