How to Invest Money to Make Maximum Profits
{ 6 comments }
When I was in business school, we did this exercise, and we won by selecting stocks of products we liked, such as Baskin-Robbins and apparel companies.
If you are allowed to “invest” in mutual funds for only three months, I’d go with a US small stock fund, an international stock fund, and an emerging markets (international) stock fund. Then the chances of any one of the three shooting the lights out are higher. (EDITED to add: oh, four classes not three… I’d add U.S. growth stocks mutual fund as the fourth selection)
Most of your colleagues will focus on U.S. based stocks. If they choose three separate stocks, they might have a chance to shoot the moon, but with three entirely differently correlated asset classes (like your mutual fund strategy), it would seem that your chances of an outlying high return are better.
BTW the reason I pick U.S. small stocks is they already have been hammered. Maybe in three months, you’ll see a recovery.
PS, PEOPLE – this is a commentary for a school class, not for real life investing. I would absolutely not advocate this strategy for a very short term, three month investment of real money.
no, individual stocks are the better choice..while a mutual fund can have nice gains, you have to buy the good along with the bad stocks as well because its a “basket” of stocks.

Mutual funds can be safer because your investment is in many companys not 1 or 2. If this is only a game look at call options on large oil companys. These days you can’t go wrong. With options you can get in and out several times a day. Mutual funds are safe but you won’t win with them in a game. Watch the commissions that you are paying. They can be the killer!! Good luck.
Top 10 Scrips to INVEST in 2008 when the Indian Stock Markets fall:
Reliance Industries (RELIANCE), Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), NTPC, Bharti Airtel (BHARTIARTL), State Bank of India (SBIN), Larsen & Toubro (LT), Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL), Steel Authority of India (SAIL), Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC).
Better invest in mutual funds. You dont have much time
OK again, this is game advice not investing advice…. check out MYE… they have a deal to be bought by an arm of Goldman Sachs by 4/30/08 at $22.50… currently under $12.00… the deal has been pushed back twice do to the credit situation, but if it goes through now you’ve almost got a doubler….
I used to win stock picking pools with penny stocks alot, but they’re a gamble… banks have popped recently off their lows, and same with the home builders… but now the Bond Insurers are tanking… somewhere in there might be a dead cat buy for a big upswing…
In these games you need to do the opposite of building a solid portfolio, and just swing for the fences… 2nd place is the same as busting out….
