What If?•What if you had $10,000 to invest in any two companies on the New York Stock exchange?

                

• I could choose only two companies and they had to have the following characteristics:– Interest to me– Demonstrate freedom, reward, recognition

and/or hope.– Give back to society

Procedures

My choices• After researching, I choose the

following companies:

PEPSI

EXXON - MOBILE

EXXON MOBIL

Exxon Mobile – Company Information

• World’s largest integrated oil company• Exxon Mobil engages in oil and gas

exploration, production, supply, transportation, and marketing around the world

• 2001 Sales (mil.): $187,510 1-Yr. Sales Growth: (9.0%)

• NYSE: XOM

EXXON MOBILINTEREST

EXXON MOBIL was interesting to me because my grandma gave me 3 shares of stock when I

was little and they keep splitting which gives me

twice the amount of stocks each time they

split.

EXXON MOBILFREEDOM

EXXON MOBIL represents freedom to me because I do not

believe a company like this could have become so large except that it is in a free society like

America.

EXXON MOBILSERVICE

EXXON MOBIL gives grant money to such organizations as the

Children’s Museum of Houston and cultural

matching gifts to libraries, museums and historical preservation

organizations.

PEPSIINTEREST

I love Pepsi and wouldn’t mind investing in a product

that I drink almost everyday. In fact, I can’t understand why anyone drinks that other brand.

Besides, Pepsi has Britney Spears as their promoter

now.

PEPSIRECOGNITION

I really like the way PEPSI appeals to the younger generation.

They feature the movies I like and have

a cool interactive website.

PEPSISERVICE

PEPSI lets you become an advisor to the

company. You log into their website and you

can “advise” them how to spend their money for the good of others.
