Investing - February 2007

As a class assignment, each student of our class is going to have the oppurtinity to "invest" in the stock market. (We are not actually purhasing shares for money) We will have a choice of investing $10,000 into (2-3) Mutual Funds and (3-5) Stocks. We will be holding on to these stocks and in two months, the student who has yielded the highest gain will recieve a $50 savings bond.

I believe I have what it takes to win, but I am seeking outside advice to help me in deciding which stocks and mutual funds to buy.

If you have any suggestions of stocks and mutual funds that will grow rapidly in 2 months, please tell me.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Dusty

I recently opened an IRA. I have purchased a few mutual funds, but I was wondering if I can also purchase CD's as part of the IRA. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question. Also, if you can do CD's is that a good way to go. I know it is secure but it doesn't have as much growth potential as other options. I am 24

I have a little over 20g to invest somewhere and i am not sure if i should put it all in stocks or somewhere more stable. I wont need this money for at least 5-10 years and i am still fairly young so I am willing to take some risks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone that knows some knowledge about stock tell me if i should cut my thousands of dollars losses and get out, or hope they will make it to something?

My company is offering its 401k through this firm, but it seems like it nickel & dimes you on all sorts of fees.

I've had 401k's before, but the vesting period is 7 years, and rolling over an immature fund results in loss of 80% of the overall fund.

I know it sounds bad, but any direct experience with this firm at all?

I like the idea of day trading, but i do not like gambling, would you consider day trading fancy gambling or do you think by using different strategies such as technical analysis or news trading, you have a high chance of profiting...?

I am new to buying stocks, and am not looking to make much profit, just experience what the stock market is like, as I am only 18. A particular penny stock has caught my eye. I have checked out all the online brokers, and have decided that I would like to try to buy stock directly from the company. If the company allows this how does the "deal go down" as far as payment, and do they send me some sort of stock certificate. I realize that different companies are probably different, therefor i mean in general.

Yes i realize most people hate penny stocks, but as i said i'm looking to gain experience.

I don't need much liquidity for at least 5 years, so I will trade liquidity for lower risk.

Right now, the money is in government bonds (<4%APR) maturing in 15 years. (very slow)
