your report. - Looking at your graph, see if you can find two
dates that seem to be peaks or troughs. Find news on these dates
relating to Google company and determine how the event(s) described in
the articles impact the observed movements in share price. - To
do this, go to News then narrow down the news stories to those
pertaining to your firm on those dates that you had preselected. You
could also simply do a Google search or other type of search to find
news articles around the required dates. Find two articles. These
articles must be from valid news sources—not press releases, analyst opinions, blogs, etc. Use only news from actual publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times,
or other newspapers or business magazines. Provide complete citation
information (Title of article and author, news source, date). - In
a clearly written paragraph, describe these events and explain how the
events impacted (or may have impacted) the stock price.
