Fourth Day of Tejari
Trading period 1
Today we started trading period 1. We asked by our teacher to be at college before 9 am therefore to receive Mr.Jaweed’s email to start the trading. However, the email delayed and received to us at 11:49. The email contained the newsflash about the total Market Demand in coffee stock.
At the beginning our group was confused about the email, we didn’t know what we have to do. We tried to read and understand the requirement. We also asked the other groups if they had understood anything so they could help us. After this we sent Miss Haya email about the issue and she was so cooperative with us; she came to the class and explained to us some of the strategies.
During the biding we had take screen shot of every bid that we participated on it and that we won on it. This was for keeping records about our strategic decision; also we kept the auction receipts.
When we understood well the procedure of the trading, we entered the Auction and started to bid. We managed to purchase 400 kg of Arabica and 500 kg of Robusta. Unfortunately, we didn’t sell anything of the low quality blend because of a problem in the system. We hope for tomorrow we sell our blends and start to do profit and cover most of the expenses.
Action plan
While we were waiting for Mr.Jaweed’s email our group manager suggested that we had to start working on the action plan instead of wasting time waiting.
