Use https://finance.yahoo.com/ to find three stocks you’re interested in, and calculate how many shares you can buy with your $5,000. Keep in mind that you have to buy three different stocks, and assume a fixed commission of $9.95 for each purchase. For this DQ your purchase date is Monday of week 6.
