So we are playing a stock market game in my econ class..

Any input on some stocks to get, help with when to buy/sell, and what Bearish and Bullish means on the chart below the stocks

Any help is much appreciated!

I did this in freshman year. I was going to pick redbull but they're not traded, so I ended up doing Daimler and won and got brownies

Apple is (or was at least, theyre shit kinda hit the fan recently) about to split there stock, which usually raises the price so that might be a good bet.

I invested in POTASH (of Saskatchewan or something), they make fertilizer for some bullshit potato farmers. I invested when they were low, made TONS and won my game, fucked bitches, peed in said bitches butts, and won 100$ of skrilla.

AAMRQ , as it is emerging from bankruptcy, Prices will only go up. Also invest in some sort of penny stock, you could get extremely lucky with those.

Buy into index funds. See what your prof says about that.

Bullish is when the market is on the up - a bullish market is an optimistic one. Bearish is the opposite - people who describe a market as bearish expect it to decline.

ask Zimmerman..

but don't invest in Apple, Google, or any other stocks that are already super high. Pick penny stocks that have high potential. BB would probably be a good bet right now since it's somewhere around $10 and will no doubt spike sharply upwards once their first sales figures are announced.

hahahahah i used to do this and make bank on this site, not sure if it still works

step one: find out which stocks are about to split, say one stock at $50 turns into two $25 stocks

step two: find that stock on the game and shot sell the shit out of it (when the dialog comes up to but click "sell short" instead of buy and use all your money

step three: when the stock splits, the program doesnt account for it turning into 2 different stocks, it just thinks it lost a shit ton of money

step four: ?????

step five: profit (sell off your stocks and get double back)
