• Need investing advice!!!!!!!!!!!?

  we are playing a game in economics class, we were each given 0,000 and told to invest it in this online stockmarket game. We will be playing this game for a couple of months. December 11th is the final day. Goal is to make the most money. I need help with picking short term stocks for this game. It is right in the holiday season and wasn’t sure if i should calculate that into what stocks i pick.

    Well, I’m no expert when it comes to how stocks work but I do have a good idea what would be selling. I would say right now: Google, Apple, Microsoft, Sony, Burger King, Walmart and basically anything that’s big, well known and also has been pushing for sales lately. Mainly companies that are advertising a lot and coming out with new, exciting followed products as well.

    All the very best for securing top honors in this game.

    However, I would like to warn you that there is hardly any investments that you can make for 2 months. What you will have to do for a 2 month returns is to trade in stocks. For this, you need to identify the stocks having momentum and look at gaining from these momentums. You can also look at various options and futures which will help you ride the momentum. But of course, all these approaches are inherently high risk propositions. I am sure, the greatest benefit you would get from these games is the learning that you can acquire which will help you in managing your monies effectively in the future.
