Week 4: Team Project -- Investments

During Week 4, we had to find a group to collaborate with, and develop a Portfolio report for a Business Investment proposal. I am fairly unfamiliar with investments and financial mumbo jumbo, but I know we will be using MS Office, which I feel I have a good skill level involved with it.

I am a MIS major here at UMass Lowell, so I can navigate myself well around Excel and most of Office, therefore I feel I can bring quick and efficient structuring of our project to the team's table. I consider myself a rather techy guy, so managing software during this project should not be hard for me. The only offset I have is that we are dealing with Finances, which I have tried to avoid during my program in the College of Management. So hopefully my techy skills will reign over all else.

Now our group consists of five members including myself there is Chris, Zak, Mark and Nick. And we all have switched AIM Screen names and emails, so it should be easy to contact. Also we will try to arrange a way to setup a Google Docs account specifically for our team, so any one member can access it and add what they want. The web is a beautiful thing to unite people and we have taken the full opportunity of it for our project. The fact that we are all friends with one another will make this easy to ensure that each team member will get the work in on time (as to not let the other team members down).

We set the organization of our group up so that we will all pick Five stocks from our industry and do the excel work ourselves, and in the end we will combine it as one and change anything to make the project consistent. I am pretty happy with our position and I feel that we will have minimal problems completing this task.
