Overall, based on current events and statistical data, I will invest in Exxon Mobile (XOM). On March 17th the opening price of the stock was $83.68 and is currently priced at 1:12 pm at $84.05. Within the past six months, the stock has been on a rising trend. The stock was at 52 week low of $66.55 and has a 52 week high of $89.78. Now the oil stock is approaching the high and according to financials sources it might even surpass it. Another reason why I choose to buy the stock is because according to financial analyst of the Motley Fool, Tyler Crowe, Exxon Mobile is "not a stock people need to babysit. It is conservatively managed, diversified, and one of the best-run oil majors." (Crowe). The corporation has "91.1 billion reserves of oil barrels, produces 4.1 barrels of oil equivalent a day" and plans to restart a refinery in Torrance. Thus, showing the the stock active plans to grow and expand.

Fast Food - Emma
Yum! Stock
The current price of a Yum! stock is $80.57, it’s up 2.12% today. In the last three months it has had a low of $65.24 and a high of $81.50. In the last year, the 52 week range was $64.58 - $95.90. Yum! is still getting back up on its feet from it’s two food quality issues in its Chinese businesses, and that’s troubling because as it states on finance.yahoo.com “The region accounts for 53% of total revenue and 39% of operating profits. The restaurateur has about 6,900 restaurants in the country, about 5,000 of which are KFCs.” However, Yum! is thinking about “spinning off” (Yahoo Finance) its divisions that run KFC and Pizza Hut in China. But it is also planning on starting up Taco Bell in the country. Also not all of the ties will be severed with the spin off. It doesn’t seem very volatile, so perhaps it might be an alright investment, but I think I would want to see how the spin off deal works out first, then maybe I would invest, however right now, I won’t be buying it.
