Stock game in economics

<p>We start with $1,000, invest, blah blah blah. I went with some common cookie cutter stocks like Google, pepsi, and Honda and am making a decent amount, I'm near the top. I want to play for first though. I was planning on investing in volatile quarter stocks on an over the counter market, but the teacher is saying NYSE only. What's a company issuing really cheap shares on the NYSe/ I was thinking maybe Krispy kreme, but they don't seem to have exited their slump yet.</p>

<p>If you want to take a huge risk, buy alot of NorthWest stock (which is under $1 right now) because, even though its going through a bankruptcy, I don't think a huge company like that can just die. Looking to the past, UAL went through a bankruptcy where its stock was at like 10 cents... and now its at about $5. Its a HUGE risk, its stock could go to $0 so realize the risk. But then again, the whole stock market is all about risk... if you dont want risk, buy a CD...</p>

<p>PUT $1000 INTO NORTHWEST.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>I'm gonna do it! :)</p>

<p>It went up 2 cents today. If I'd put my $1,016 in it, that'd have gotten me 1472 shares, and gained me $29.44-10 transaction fee=$19. Good, but not great. Hopefully I can catch it during a huge surge.</p>
