Stock Markets Exposed
Stock Market Help...?
Hello. I am taking a course in economics and my class is doing a hands-on activity involving the stock market. There is a free online site that teachers can open an account on and their students manage their own stock portfolios. With the economy in such a recession, my teacher knows that this is a tough assignment. I am currently researching the stock trends; however, I just wanted to see if anyone had any particular stocks come to mind that I should invest in. Thanks in advance.

- I had to do this assignment for my investments class and I ended losing a lot of money so I can't really say I can give you good advice. But a good website to look for good stocks to buy is msncaps.fool.com. I didn't use the website while I had the assignment. It is really difficult to have gains with the economy in recession. I think only 2-3 people in my class ended up with gains. In this case, maybe short some stocks or by QID. Good Luck!
- The big companies will hurt. You need to find well run small companies. Can you use them? I hold ESSA. What is the grading criteria. Is the object to win? Does 2nd place count? I was in such a contest once, and 2nd place was 1st loser. So, I invested aggresively to try to win. If the object is to have fun and learn, do the research and do the best you can. You might try commodity funds. Or not. Your call.
- You can open a fake account and track at msn, aol, or yahoo even. xom, mo, msft, and mcd. Would make for an interesting report. Diversity.
