I'm sure many of you have done this before at work or just for fun but lets say you have $10,000 to invest in 5-10 stocks for the rest of 2015 which stocks would you pick? This isn't with real money just a finance major doing a semester long project and wanted to see what some older and wiser guy/gals would pick.

I did same project for my undergrad. Loved the assignment and actually won a SBUX gift card from the professor. I would diversify and it's not always about the fancy stocks. Will you have to write a summary on each stock and why you chose it?

I assume that leveraged ETFs are off the table, and ETFs in general my be off limits for the project as well.

If it is a constest based on returns, then oil would be a solid place to start. There is no reason to protect against losses with fake money, so jump in head first.

Try Seadrill (SDRL), Parker Drilling (PKD), Ensco (ESV), Noble Corp (NE), and Transocean (RIG).

Not a summary just have to pick stocks and track it throughout the semester.

Ask LSUTraderman. There is some amazing science going on right now, and he knows all about it.
