GEO-RESOURCE EVALUATION AND INVESTMENT ANALYSIS

Final Project (10% optional)


Project Report

A final project report is optional for this course. Each student will select a petroleum, energy, or mining company and follow its stock market performance, covering those important market and economic news and events. You should research the company stock behavior vs. the price of the commodity involved. The student will track back in time as needed to search for both, the stock prices of the company, and the commodity involved.

The student will prepare a report following the suggested contents below by using graphs and tables of stock vs. commodity prices, highlighting important management and economic events of the company and the stock market. The student must learn and understand if there is correlation between the company stock and commodity related events and price behavior and give conclusions.

Example of an oil/gas/mine company and its commodity:

Company: Exxon Mobil. Stock symbol, XOM. Commodity: Oil

Company: Newmont. Stock symbol: NEM. Commodity: Gold.

Stock and commodity values can be researched at Google Finance, Bloomberg, etc.
