The second reason this week was interesting since the market had been active for three weeks now and a conservative stock purchase could also be because you are more comfortable buying a stock that you’ve had time to watch and research for the past three weeks. There are two ways to look at being conservative - first is clearly finding and researching a stock that is trending upward. The second way to look at being conservative is waiting on a stock to see a trend, such as the STRT stock, as it had a positive trend for the past three weeks, which then involved myself investing in another twenty-five stocks for the final week. The major benefit to a conservative strategy is you’re playing it safe…

    Conclusions and Recommendations: Pacific Grove Spice Company is currently unable to comply with the bank's requirements with their current financial performance. However, Pacific should choose a few options to meet these requirements: first, they should acquire High Country Seasonings for $13.2 million since this is well below the $18 million book value of their equity, and the total value of the company would increase from the financial statements' consolidation. In addition, Pacific should issue 400,000 new shares of common stock to the investment group to have money for funding the cooking television show. By financing the production and sponsorship of the show, Pacific will be able to meet the bank's regulations and reduce its total debt to less than 55% of its total assets and also reduce the equity multiplier to 2.5.…
