What Stocks, Mutual Funds, or Bonds should I pick for a mock investment class?
l0ewen asked:
I am taking Fin 320 at ISU right now and I am doing some research on what to invest in. I need to maintain a diversified portfolio, obviously a good idea anyway. I was just curious if anyone had any good ideas on what to invest in, including what industries, in this bullish market. I have $1,000,000 to invest and although I know mutual funds will probably have the greatest returns right now, I am looking to learn from this experience and try different ideas while I have the opportunity.
Bullish market? The peak was near the end of 2007. We are bearish right now. Are you looking to have a short or long term investment portfolio?, Are you going to be doing fundamental or technical trading? What are your fund’s goals, requirements, tolerance for fluctuations and risk? What does your class reference material suggest? Pick some stocks, ETF and mutual funds to meet your requirements. Good luck!
