My name is J and I have two children whom are five and 12 years old. As I’m attending this class, I find myself learning what they are learning as well by assisting with their homework. It’s very interesting on how they taught to do math compared to how I did it. Or maybe I just don’t remember if I learned the same way. As far as my knowledge on this topic, I’m not fluent with it. I do hope to learn about this topic and how I can understand how it relates to the company which I work with. Although I work with the government now, I look forward to seeing how the information can be useful with understanding other companies.
The company I chose is Tesla because with the gas prices on a rise and the rise of more electric vehicles, I would like to learn the financial side of it. Right now I only know Tesla for its gas-less cars. The first Tesla I seen was in 2012 in a mall in Colorado. I was curious on how popular it would get and if this was going to be the future of driving. The price tag was really expensive and there weren’t many cars of this brand on the street yet. They have other car companies that are developing their own automotive with renewable energy, and also those that have a mix of battery life and gasoline. I’m interested in seeing how Tesla can convert their knowledge to other sectors would be interesting. The current industry which Tesla operates in is Consumer Durable’s, or in the Automotive and Energy Generation and Storage segments, with mainly operating in the United States market with headquarters in Palo Alto, California. It is a fairly young company who has started in 2003. The company also “develops energy storage products for use in homes, commercial facilities and utility sites.” (Forbes, 2021)

Good day eveyone. My name is G and I recently retired from the Kentucky National Guard and moved to Sarasota, Fl. where I currently work for the City. I am nearing completion of my graduate studies hopefully earning my MBA by the end of September this year. My current knowledge of Finance, well I can’t really say is limited as I have conducted studies through economics but the subject gets lost on me as I just can’t get a good grasp on the subjects. My goal for this course is to gain a greater understanding of the market as the retirement I chose for the City relies on the 401A so understanding how finance plays a role in assetts, equity, etc will be beneficial to me.
Although not as mainstream as the thousands of other companies I could have chosen like Apple, Disney, and Amazon I would like my course project be on Prologis Inc. According to Prologis Inc. it acquires, develops and maintains the largest collection of high quality logistics real estate in the world. With that said the industry they are in is global real estate traded on the stock market. It is part of my top holdings under my investment with American Century Global Real Estate RG Fund in which Is part of my portfolio under my 401A. This company will provide me the ability to research its financial resources while gaining a better understanding of the market and how my 401A works.
