For my first stock post, I traded coca cola and purchased Halliburton. I purchased five shares of coca cola at $38.36 a share and sold all five socks for $38.36 per share. I had had coca cola for a couple of weeks and it wasn't making me any money even though it was staying pretty constant in price but I decided to sell it. I purchased 33 stocks of Halliburton $59.95 a share. I researched coca cola and the are one of the most steady stocks in the market.
