Navteq ~ NVT. (they control the map data for GPS, map sites like mapquest, etc)
Extra Storage ~ EXR. (people need to store their crap ! ;-) )
Suntech ~ STP. (produce solar power cells in china)
SanJose Water ~ SJW. (water industry leader)
Disney ~ DIS
NVT should reach $45 in 6 months. (currently trades at $35)
EXR should reach $25 in 6 months. (currently trades at $20)
STP should reach $50 in 6 months. (currently trades at $38)
SJW should reach $60 in 6 months. (currently trades at $38)
DIS should reach $40 in 6 months. (currently trades at $35)
If you are allowed to trade in Australian Stocks:
ANN (sells condoms) nearly doubled in value over the past 2 years (currently trades at $12 AUD).
MAP (Sydney Interntional Airport with no competitors currently trades at $5 AUD).
ALL (Aristocrat ~ mkes gaming machines for Vegas etc currently trades at $15+ AUD).
It seems like the Aussie stocks move faster than US ones, so you should have a bit in either market :-).
Good luck !
(I like Heely's. I want some !)

Go to the library reference department and look at Value Line. They follow more than 1600 stocks and rate them for Timeliness on a scale of 1 to 5. Value Line has a good record and reputation for picking the right stocks.
You might consider:
Apple, Inc.
Coach,Inc.
Honeywell Int'l.
Kohl's Corp
Morgan Stanley
NVIDIA Corp
Oracle Corp.
Research in Motion
Walgreen Co.

i'm playing the SMG too! But I guess i can help. However, there are no "good stocks to buy". The key to winning this game is teamwork and keep an eye for stocks. you decide when is the best time to sell or buy a stock. Good luck and have Fun!
p.s can u plz tell me your username so i can find which place you are in?

Buy it god damn it! if you watch it, then you ill lose your chance of getting the stock. If the stock goes down, don't worry, but if it stays like that, then your in trouble. But really, buying stocks is better than watching stocks because you won't make money/profit. Good luck with the scholarship prize thing!

Not sure what the ultimate toal is for your classroom experience. However, two stocks that all solid funds have in them are Johnson & Johnson and General Electric. Intel and Cisco are once again almost a safe bet; although Cisco is problematic.
Also add a good banking stock,
go to yahoo finance and find stocks that are paying the highest dividends.
Archer Daniels Midland ... a good stock
good luck

Try to focus on the "blue chip stocks"...the ones that have the most trading volume. Look for stocks with positive earnings, low P/E ratio (less than 20) and a PEG ratio of less than 1. Try to avoid penny stocks (stocks that trade for less than $5 a share) until you have more experience. Buy low, sell high ! ;-)

Read and do research. Try to have a little money in a variety of stocks. What are your interests? What things/services do you and your friends/family like and purchase?

There are several good stocks in the market,like Infosis technologies,ONGC, etc. It is better to learn the market and the shares.

What do you and your friends like to buy? What brand of clothes, shoes, cars, foods. Start with that, because if you like them, most likely others do too. Then research those company's and invest in the ones you like.
Here's a start:
Heely's--shoes
Jones Soda (jsda) --pop
Wifi--(wifi) on-line TV
abercrombie--clothes
I own the two in parentheses
Good Luck
