Stock Up?

Each group member selects a stock that is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Each group member then writes the daily change in the price of this stock for each of five consecutive days.

Find the net change in your stock for the five-day period by finding the sum of the daily changes. Which stock gained in value the most over this period? Which stock lost the most value?
