2 weeks? I can only recommend a strategy, not a stock(s) to help you win the game...afterall, Wall Street is a game, so the strategy is...put all the money into CRM June 55.00 calls. You either win the game, or lose. Since all but one wins the game...your chances are 100 fold to win vs the other participants. You see, Salesforce (CRM) reports earnings this week, and if they are good (street thinks so) they will pop and you will probably quadruple your money. Not a savvy way to invest, but a game and for two weeks...most participants are going to fall into a +/- area of 2% No class with such a game is teaching you anything regarding investing... It is like asking to to play one play at one table game in vegas to win the most money. That would be roulette. Easy way to win 35x, but foolish, and extremely hard, as odds are 36:1...

Terrible odds, but the point is, bottom line, win the most. Not to find out what you can do over a year of investing. Sheesh, what a silly game.

I am a software developer with special interests on trading. In fact I developed a complete Virtual Trading Platform from scratch ( http://virtualtrading.com ). I believe this is exactly what you are asking for. The Site lets you do virtual trading on stocks from all the world, forex, commodities, indices, CFDs. There's the possibility to challenge friends to trading competitions, etc.

I'd appreciate it if you could give it a try. In fact, I commit myself to improve the platform with any feedback you give me within the comments of this answer.

This is the site: http://virtualtrading.com

Hope it helps!

I'm starting a game on MarketWatch for my Macroeconomics class. We are each given $1,000,000 to trade with, and the object is to compile a portfolio that sees the greatest percentage increase in about 2 weeks (5/19-5/30). I'm looking for stocks with a good outlook (Maybe ones which usually see growth seasonally about this time) Can anyone recommend any stocks for me to add to my portfolio, which will have the best outlook at a relatively low risk?
