This graph is provided by Yahoo Finance and shows how Coca-Cola's stock has performed over the last six months. If I had decided to purchase two shares on the first day of class (August 19), I would have paid $109.38 ($54.69 per share). The highest peak during this semester happened on August 21 when Coke's stock was $55.58 per share. The lowest peak during this semester happened on November 12 when Coke's stock was $44.04. If I cashed out yesterday (December 7), I would have received $107.36 ($53.68 per share). Therefore, over the course of this semester, I would have lost $2.02. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it is a short-term investment.
You might want to hang on to that stock. From your blog it sounds like it might be a good time to buy more.
