Small stocks to invest in for Simulation in class.
For my investments class, we have $1m to invest.
Can anyone tell me some risky, yet high potential small stocks that I can invest in?
We started doing this last week. I am 3th place and my portfolio return is 1.29%. But the guy in 1st place has a return of 5.7%. Please help me pass him!
Please anyone

PS- The list I gave you is a little outdated, and the the next 13F-HR is scheduled to be released later this month.
Sorry but what is that?
also looking for some recs for a 2 month time frame.

@happy seem to be liking these chinese stocks. im holding xin now. do u think xny is undervalued?
Note: I would not have suggested this is we talking about real money as opposed to going for a hail mary in a class.
Eh, I think its a good possibility. The IPO was only ~3 months ago and its fallen pretty hard since then (from 11.01 in early December to just barely over 6 bucks yesterday). I also think with the DOW breaking the resistance level at 12,000, you'll start to see some smaller investors looking for 'affordable value' and having a stock with China ties at or around the 6 dollar level will attract a few buyers in the near term. In the longer term, I think you'll see the price revert a bit higher as the post IPO sell off left the stock a bit undervalued. Its hard to tell in someways and most of this is speculation since it's only been trading since late November.
The fact that its a retail clothing company based in China leads me to believe their overhead is cheap and their general operating expenses won't be a burden on them as it moves forward.
Borders? What's your thesis, bateman?
also interested in this. arent they filing chapter 11 soon? also heard GE capital is pumping some money into them.
listen i wouldnt touch these stocks with real money, but for a trading game you want as much volatility as possible (they are always flawed as they just measure absolute return, not risk adjusted), all the stocks i mentioned will have big swings one way or another.
i havent done the work on bgp, but id assume equity holders will get wiped out in an inevitable ch 11 filing
I have a question. I hold shares in yoku and te fluctuations are crazy. One day I'm up $6,000 the next day im down $8,000. So for simulations is it better to hold? Or should I do somethig likego short when the stock is high and rebuy when it is low
it may be too insane to try and make money on both the long and the short side but take profits when you have em and rebuy in when the stock drops at least
YEA
they have to be US equities and I can short or take a long position
Actually screw the list I gave you, Mohnish Pabrai is good at selecting stocks on a risk adjusted basis. Like previous posters have said, you want as much volatility as possible. Pick a bunch of pink sheets you think will do good.
I purchased 400 share of Chipotle at $221.92 a share last week. The stock is now $250.70 and I made an $11k profit.
Should I sell the stock now? or keep holding on to it til next week?
