Hunter and I decided to make some changes to our list of companies we wanted to consider for investment. Two of our choices were startups that had either failed or represented a heightened risk and did not meet our investment objectives. In order to move the process forward, we have added Amazon, McDonalds and Intrexon to our list of prospective investment candidates. During our examination of Amazon, we discussed stock market timing and why Amazon stock may, or may not be a bargain at its current price level. We also discussed the concept known as "brick and mortar" which stands for physical storefronts that traditional retail businesses were comprised of. Amazon is an online retail giant that has changed the way consumers shop or purchase goods and services. Hunter was given the assignment to access the McDonald's website and contact Investor Relations in order to obtain the 2016 10K report. Once downloaded, Hunter has been asked to read the short term goals of McDonalds and to identify some of the ways that this company has changed the way they are doing business and why.
