Common And Preferred Stocks
1. Corporations issue common stock in order to raise money to start up their businesses and then have money to help pay for activities that will occur in the businesses.
2. Investors purchase common stock in order to make money in three different ways: profit off of dividends, when the dollar value of their stock appreciates, and when the stock splits and increases in dollar value.
3. Investors will purchase preferred stock because it's safer than common stock, and it will usually bring in a steady income. Unfortunately preferred stock lack the potential for growth.
4. When the stock price is really expensive, investors may not want to buy because they can't afford it. Spliting the stock decreases the price of a share and encourages more people to buy. It's like a false hope that the company is doing really fantastic and looking towards a bright future when this may not be the case.
6. I think it's $846

The Monster In Your Room
The article "the monster in your room" basically talks about how after a few months with your freshman year roommate, you might get pretty tired of them. They could give you the impression that they are weird, they could be annoying, and have character traits that you do not enjoy. The article also talks about having a stranger for a roommate rather then a friend. Friends can be distracting in a bad way, and you may never get anything done. When you live with a stranger, you may not even have to be close with them, but just live with them. I think it's a good idea to live with a stranger as well. I realize that I get easily distracted when it comes to doing homework, so as much motivation as I can get is greatly needed.
