3.Report the values of 1,000 shares of each of the three stocks according to the stock prices on 6 January 2021 and 23 June 2021. For each stock, determine how much gain or loss one would have had if he/she had bought 1,000 stock shares on 6 January 2021 and sold it on 23 June 2021.

4.Based on the price charts in Part 1, which of the three stocks do you prefer to investing in? Why?

5.Based on the trade volume charts in Part 1, which of the three stocks seems the most actively traded in the market?
