Here are my notes on the game. I explain the roles I had on my team.

=__My Stocks__= 1.) OCNW - Occam Networks Inc. Occam Networks develops, markets and provides support for various broadband access products. These products are designed to enable telecom service providers with the ability to bundle internet, telephone and triple play options. I purchased 1,000 shares of this stock on February 22nd for $7.07. I chose to purchase this stock because it was rated with an eight in the stock scouter and the company was on the verge of unveiling their new project in Malaysia. My stock went through some up and downs, I chose to hold the stock once I bought it because their MSAP solution was gaining wide acclaim and /i hoped it would reach it's 52 week high of $7.41. Unfortunately, reports of income loss for the company scared investors and led to the stock dropping to between $6.88 and $6.99 a share. We held it through the game in order to save curb damages. I believe that this stock would benefit an investor over the long term but unfortunately hurt us in the short ten week period.

2.) SIFI - SI Financial Group Inc. SI is a holding company for Savings Institute Bank and Trust Company (The Bank). The Bank offers a wide range of financial services. It receives funds from the general public and uses those for commercial real estate and investment.The Bank considers Connecticut its primary market. I bought 200 shares of this stock on March 25th for $6.34. I chose to purchase this stock because it recieved an 8 from the stock scouter and it was down in price a little from low income reports. I took a chance on it do to its 52 week high of around $7 per share. We sold it on April 8th for $6.59 While the price did go up, we weren't able to make a profit or break even on the broker's fee as the ten weeks was up. However, I feel that the overall value of the stock would have provided a large gain had we purchased it earlier in the game. [|SIFI Stock TIcker] [|SIFI Earnings Report] =**__My Reaction__**= I personally learned that in a short term run on the stock market, one must be willing to take more chances and ignore the stocks with long term benefits. The stocks I purchased would, I believe, give an investor a good long term return on investment. = =

=**__My Role__**= I bought the stocks OCNW and SIFI. I created the wiki and helped to research potential stocks. I monitered my stocks and helped to make decisions on buying and holding other stocks.
