playing a stock market game for school. want to buy stock in companies that will hold steady or go up. suggestions? is apple a good buy?
Generally, the people or teams that do well in stock market games tend to pick companies with high volatility (i.e. companies who’s prices swing wildly up or down). You can find the most volatile stocks in the "over the counter" market. I have been pretty successful with my investment in Animas Resources, Inc. (ANIMF). The company mines gold. However, it’s not a game – I actually bought the stock. It’s gone up over 300% since I bought it. The price has been pretty steady for the last several months, but I think it’s set to take off again soon.
