<p>Hey guys, I'm playing a stock game with some other classmates in my intro to business class. Any one have any stocks that you'd like to recommend? I can short sell also.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>What good is the game if we just tell you what stocks to pick?</p>
<p>I’m just curious to see what everyone thinks are worthy stocks and further research it. Thanks.</p>
<p>Is the end goal to get rich quick or retire comfortably? If it is the former then anybody who tries to answer that is full of crap. If they knew, they certainly wouldn’t tell you. Do your research and remind your teacher that the stock market is not a useful tool for turning a few dollars into instant riches.</p>
<p>The class has 3 months so I guess you can call it getting rich quick.</p>
<p>It’s a high school class, what do you expect.</p>
<p>It’s stupid.</p>
<p>I picked a random stock that I still cant remember the name of back when i was in high school. The stock ended up splitting during the simulation… I won. :)</p>
<p>All of your classmates have invested in Apple, Coke, and Mercedes. Just pick stocks that will do better than those.</p>
<p>try Toyota, i havent checked by their stock should be down right now because of their recent recalls. but toyota is a stable company and it should rebound.</p>
<p>Are you serious? toyota won’t rebound within 3 month. I would short it.
My daughter picked Apple last semester in her class.<br>
OP, does your teacher grade based on the performance of your portfolio?</p>
<p>Sorry, didn’t mean to change this to a stock investment thread :)</p>
<p>I actually shorted Toyota a couple days ago ha. And no, its more for fun.</p>
<p>Toyota is probably going to be in the gutter for a few more quarters. Then it should rebound nicely in the long term.</p>
<p>If you’re trading for three months it’s much more important to determine where the overall market is going than pick individual stock winners. After you’ve decided if it’s going up/down/sideways, pick an index that doubles or triples market movement and ride it out. Also look into high dividend yielding stocks (think MO).</p>
<p>If you want to have some fun, start trading pink sheets. Very high growth potential (literally 200% in one day). Bounce a few charts off of indicators (bollinger bands, etc-get into technical trading if you’re so inclined) and open up a position. If you’re lucky one or two will explode. Since you’re working with play money it really doesn’t matter if you lose your bankroll.</p>
<p>I just finished a stock market game in my high school finance class. I made a lot of money off the Amazon.com stock. You could always invest in a blue chip like McDonalds, Johnson and Johnson, or Google.</p>
