You decide to invest the funds in a Small to Mid-cap firm listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("a listed firm." which means that the firm must give required financial reports and meet minimum financial and non-financial standards). Before you take this step, you would like to convince your significant other that this is a wise investment. You decide to present your Proposal to your "Financial Management" classroom peers before risking its review by your partner.My choice is(JetBlue Airways Corporation (JBLU) )

You will need to select a Small to Mid-cap firm listed on the New York Stock Exchange(bear in mind that you will use the selected firm in subsequent assignments-Delta airline inc) and acquaint your peers with your chosen firm.
