Stocks	Day 1			Day 2			Day 3
Stocks	Buy	Sell	Total Shares Held	Buy	Sell	Total Shares Held	Buy	Sell	Total Shares Held
Caterpillar	1000		1000		400	600		600	0
Home Depot		600	600		200	800	800		0

Day 1

Let's say Price of Caterpillar = $100

Price of Home Depot = $50

Total Value of Caterpillar bought= $100*1000 = $100,000

Total Value of Home Depot sold= $50*600 = $30,000

Day2

Let Price of Caterpillar = $110

Price of Home Depot = $40

Selling Value of Caterpillar = $110*400 = $44,000

Profit = $(110-100)*400 = $4000

now net Value of Caterpillar bought= $100000-$44000 = $56,000

Selling Value of Home Depot = $40*200 = $8000

Net Selling Value of Home Depot = $8000+$30000 = $38,000

Day3

Let Price of Caterpillar = $105

Price of Home Depot = $45

Selling Value of Caterpillar = $105*600 = $63,000

Final Net Profit value of Caterpillar = $63000-$56000 = $7000

Buying Value of Home Depot = $45*800 = $36,000

Net Profit Value for Home Depot = $38000-$36000 = $2000
