Interpreting the market trends
Is investing in Hawai'i a good idea? Maybe so. But what about investing in Hawai'i stocks?
This feature looks at how your money would have done if you put it in Hawai'i public companies. The Hono-lulu Advertiser "invested" $1,000 total in the stocks listed at right and calculated how much the money would have grown or shrunk over the year.
Because stocks often ebb and flow with the economy, their performance also gives an idea of how well the Hawai'i economy is doing in the eyes of investors.
The stocks were selected because the companies are based in Hawai'i, make and/or sell a significant portion of their products here, and have been listed on a major American stock exchange for more than three years.
