The Games Workshop group are about to add the ark of omens update to their
webstore for pre order. There will be tournaments involving their game
Warhammer40K soon which means a lot of people will be pre ordering the ark
of omens update. This means that the Games Workshop Group will make a big
return profit.

Company 1 : I will buy more of Caterpillar since they have been doing very well
Company 2 : I will keep the amount of Ryanair I own the same.

very well and don’t have anything planned that can make them a profit.

Conclusion
How much money did you gain / lose on your investments?

Task 3 - Reflect on your decisions
If you were to re-do this investment task would you do anything differently?
Why/ Why not?
After this module what I think that I would do differently next time is research
more about each company and what they plan to do. I will also keep more up
to date on new plans that the company has and what the general public is
thinking of the company. If I did this I could’ve some of the drops in share
value that I experienced during this module.
