Transaction #1 - Today I decided to Invest in 200 shares of Barrick Gold Corporation because #1 even with the operation twist and virtually every gold stock took a large hit but with this stock the price stayed fairly consistent, and at the moment according to Yahoo Finance its price is in about the mid of its consistent 52 week range so I expect its price to go up after I purchase it. If the stocks price goes down however I have a backup plan to shortsell it and make a return on my investment either way.
