Fantasy stock game

I remember I had to do this for an Economics class in high school. The teacher suggested that we picked corporations that we actually use the products of, because as teenagers that's just about as good a way to pick a stock as any kind of research we could do.

I picked Pepsico. It didn't do that great during my 2 months of tracking it, but the week after the game ended, their stock split.

 

google

 

QQQ, PVX (good dividend yield), IACI, ORBZ, TZOO, TASR..those are your momentum plays

now for big caps, BBY, GME, MSFT,

BEBE for women's clothing.

VITX (speculative pharm).

 

If you wanted energy or energy-related companies, you could try any of the following:

El Paso (ep), Chesapeake (chk), Denbury (dnr), Enterprise Products Partners (epd), Plains All American (paa), Valero (vli), Kinder Morgan (kmp), Devon (dvn), Encana (eca), Occidental (oxy), Anadarko (apc), Apache (apa), Burlington (br), Unocal (ucl), Talisman (tlm), EOG Resources (eog), Kerr McGee (kmg), Forest Oil (fst), Conoco Phillips (cop), Marathon Oil (mro), Murphy Oil (mur), Houston Exploration (thx), Stone Energy (sgy), St. Mary's (sm), Spinnaker (ske), Encore (eac), Magnum Hunter (mhr), Range Resources (rrc), Swift Energy (sfy), Energy Partners (epl), Callon Petroleum (cpe), XTO Energy (xto), Pioneer (pxd), Pogo Producing (ppp), Newfield (NFX), Noble (NBL), Vintage (VPI), GlobalSantaFe (GSF)....

...among others. Hope it helps.

 

I'm the head stock trader at an investment management firm. Email me through the board. I think I can help you out.

 

i would give you a nice list but i can't since i'm licensed, so all i have to say is pick up an investors business daily from barnes and noble or borders books or a place like that. you will find a wealth of knowledge and stocks to follow in there. easy to read and to the point.

 

i was waiting to see you here synergy ;-)

 

if its about stocks, i'm always there.

 

havent seen you post in a while, robbie. guess things must be real busy..

 

i post here and there just havent had much to say...been lurking a lot lately i guess

and yeah i have been more busy lately i feel like i am working 10-12 hours every weekday.

i would love to talk about the market but i got yelled at for talking about the market with anyone outside of the office. kind of strict in my eyes, but oh well. hope things have been going well with the fund.

 

And?
