Stock Simulation Investment

The company I chose to invest in was PEP, the ticker symbol for PepsiCo. I brought 20 shares of stock in the company at a value of $1,225.40. This leaves me with a fair amount of money to invest in other companies, and gives me a good starting point. The reason I chose to invest in Pepsico is because it could be considered a blue chip. It's certainly not going anywhere anytime soon, and it produces a lot of products that are fairly successful. This company makes several products. Pepsi, Gatorade, Quaker oats, Doritos, Frito Lay, Lay's, Sierra Mist, and more. They have a mission statement, stating that they want to be the world's premier convenient food and beverage company. They are also working to help the environment and society as a whole. They have several popular brand names food and beverages from their company. The company is also working to conserve water. I think, judging from all their products, even in the poor economy, they were a good choice to invest in. I think I will make a good gain from the stock. I don't believe the stock has split yet. If so, I would have a lot of stocks in there. I don't believe they're coming out with a new ad campaign or product at this time.
