I know of two that I did not but a month or so ago when I did my stock project... and they went up alot...
Nucor - Nue - it is a Steel Processing company... it went up like 20$ in the two to three weeks i did it.

Lockheed Martin - LMT - it is a aerospace technology company... it went up like 14$ in the two weeks I did it...
Nucor is the best one though...

It depends on the money you have to spend and the time the investment game will last. Short term investments with a need for profit potential will require a more risky portfolio. Myself instead of playing individual stocks I would select and broad range of ETF(Exchange Traded Funds) and also Index Markets (s&p 500 AKA Spiders, NASDAQ AKA QQQ) Etc. Stocks with volatility I would look at Google, Reaserch in Motion, Apple, Berkshire Hathaway.

Diversify, place 50% in US based Blue Chips,(Not US Automotive) 40% in established diversified overseas stocks in China, India, and others, and 10% on educated high risk. Do your homework before you commit funds and shop for the best broker-house/deals. You may want to look at some futures in alternative fuel.

You might to check out http://www.top10traders.com - there are a lot of good traders. You can see their investment ideas. You might want to mention to your teacher, that the site can host your stock market game by creating your own "group".
Hope this helps.
