I know at one time Sirius shot up quick...once 2006 hits I'd say it'll shoot up pretty high...

It depends how long the project length is. Anyone can give you a whole list of blue chips which will give you a consistent return; however, if you are only going to be tracking over a few months, I would go for riskier stuff like defense companies and technology firms. You may lose your shirt, but it is the quickiest way to turn a profit in such a short time span. Watch the news for potential events which could learn to large government or civilian contracts.

When we did this thing in high school, some people were making a 100%-200% return but this was also right after the terrorist attacks. Defense stocks skyrocketed and the airline companies could be bought for next to nothing then doubled their value in about a month.

Is that one of those simulated stock markets for Econ?

I pwned that when I did it...started out by investing heavily in tech - Intel was very nice to me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Took the money I made from that and threw it in some more diversified stuff, like Krispy Kreme donuts and other industries.

Warren Buffett's recommendations for stocks hold true - buy something that you yourself would buy, make sure it's a good company you're investing into, and one that other people might also like.
