Before I Started This Project, And After

Throughout the whole time I was trying to complete this project, I've stumbled across so many complicated problems and I've also learned so many new things. First of all, I've learned that it not always so easy to find the information that you need. For example, I've had to find a new company, one after another because the rate of return percentage was lower than 6%. I had some help, from my friend Anh Lien; she told me about the website http://www.gurufocus.com/ which was completely fit for this project and was so helpful for me. However, it was not until after I found out the difference between the dividend yield and the rate of return that I moved any further in my project. I found out the hard way that the dividend yield, the one I kept looking at, was not the dividend, the rate of return that I was looking for. Instead of looking at the dividend yield, I was just to search the 'rate of return' of my company that that would've just been the end of that. I've had a lot of trouble, however, I'm relieved after completing this project! I got to experience and learn about something I would have known nothing about by the time I was an adult and in need  of money. Because of everything that I've learned from this project, I will continue to take my savings seriously and actually start thinking about and considering investing on a worthwhile company. With all that I've learned I'll actually look forward to learning more about investing on a wider scale when the time comes and I'll be prepared because I know what to expect because of this project.

  1. I totally agree, I did not understand much about investing and yields, until after I completed the project. I also had many friends who helped me accomplish this along the way and I thanked them in my project!
