Question: I'm doing a stock project and I need some ideas for specific company stocks to look into. Any suggestions?

There's no real specifics. I just need some suggestions. It's just a class project so no real money will be gained or lossed. But any help you can give will be very appreciated!

Answer:

You might want to see what the best traders are buying - you can find this information at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is a charting feature, so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. Also, you can create your own "group" so that you can see how you are doing compared to your friends.

Here are this month's best traders:

Good luck.

I like the following site, www.ibooyah.com

there are lots of information that should help with your project.

Following muncier's suggestion, also try to research on different type of sector stocks which display examples of Classic Growth,
Aggressive Growth, Cyclical Growth etc. Examples are Pharmaceutical stocks and Industrial stocks and how they respond to the market.

To enhance your learning the most, you should pick some good and some not so good so you can see what the differences are.

Good:

JNJ, BAC, GGG

Not so good:

F or GM, GTW, DUK

So so

INTC, DELL, HD
