STOCK SELCTION PAPER, DUE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2012 On FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 29, your stock selection papers are due. They should be a minimum of three pages and a maximum of five, excluding appendices. You should begin this paper by writing several paragraphs explaining your philosophy of investing. You should then cite the stock you have invested in and explain in detail  why this stock is UNDERVALUED at the time. You should have consulted at least three or four sources in making your choice.

The Following materials describe the proper citation style to use in your papers and bibliographies for AP European History.

Notice, too, that we would like you to annotate your bibliographies. Turabian Style Format for Bibliographies Based upon Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations , 6th ed., 1996. (Copies available at Main and Science Library Reference and Reserve Desks call number LB2369 .T8 1996) Note: Like the Chicago Manual of Style on which it is based, Turabian offers those in the natural and social sciences the option of using an author-date system with notes and parenthetical references. See chapters 10-11 of the Manual for
