So I have Planning this semester and we're doing a unit on investments. The whole class is having a little fantasy investing contest on investopedia.com. Everyone starts at $100 000 each. I'm thinking of investing in something in the Uranium market or a big company like Apple who is whooping M$'s ass right now.

Anyways... Any suggestions for a good company or market to "buy" some shares in?

Sirius Satellite radio(SIRI), It has been up and down in the past years but it has pretty much been set strait by the market and both Sirius and XM are at realistic reportings now. I say Sirius and not XM because XM has had a lot more hurtful mistakes in the past couple of years overshadowing. As well, a lot of funds dont touch stocks trading sub $5 but as soon as it gets near this dollar mark you will see a lot of large capacity trading to start to include Sirius. Last but not least, I assume this is a one semester project and that semester includes the holiday pop that will always favor these two companies. Razz

70% of 2007 cars are coming with an ipod dock.

I like the Apple idea.

You could also invest in walmart, buy it now, sell it around christmas.

Jensen, we have a club at school that runs a huge fund like that. I think ours is around 500K though.

I suggest going CHINA. EFUT amongst other stocks have been huge lately. The thing is you have to be a sharpe day trader to make money there. Many of them are quite volatile so you either get in early and ride it up or get there at the peak and short all you can. With the Bejing Olympics coming up the country is pretty much updating every facet of their infrastrucutre which leads to huge gains in their tech stocks and energy stocks, as well as many other areas of industry. Many of these companies will have stuff earnigs and look terrible on paper but China is HOT!!!!! so get in while you can and take profits and then short the hell out of the stuff when it peaks cover at drop and then get back in. I ma using stock trak for my advanced investments course and i have made money going up and down on pretty much every china security.

green power companies. Many people are starting to switch their homes to green power. Its becoming more aware, and as the years progress the buisness will steadily increase. 10 years from now, you'll be wiping your arse with benjamins.
