Entrepreneurship

[WashingtonGrove]

Hey guys, my name is Mason Buran and you may have seen some of my work on Examiner.

For the rest of this summer, I am taking a summer course of business at Georgetown University in Washington DC. Today, my professor handed out an assignment...

On July 10th, 2012, once Wall Street closes I will be granted $100,000 mock dollars. With this money, I must choose between 3 companies to invest in. On August 8th, 2012 I will sell all my stocks and evaluate how well I have done. The goal is to profit the most earnings among my classmates. My question to you is, which industries should I look at to invest in for over the next month and would bring me the most profit.

Please state which companies and why!

Potential:
Raytheon - Large producer of drones and the government is seemingly buying them at will
New York Times - Recently opened up a Chinese version, also hoarding very valuable data scientists (Jake Porway)
GoldCorp - I am not allowed to invest money in gold, however I can invest in this corporation based on gold
SQM - Lithium mining stocks, lithium is becoming very valuable very fast

Have you considered putting some of it into the Bitcoin world on the Global bitcoin stock exchange?

(just avoid anything owned by "pirateat40", that guy most likely runs a ponzi with his weekly 7%)

mobile development companies - it's like a investing in the web a few years back

What exactly does he hope to teach you by telling you to throw money into 3 companies for a month? How to invest poorly?

And I'm a little confused by the subject- what does this have to do with entrepreneurship?

Sorry for OT, I just don't get it. No good advisor would tell you to invest like that. I hope this is not a finance course.

Yes, long-term is much better, but...
Are you allowed to hold some back and day trade?
~1 month is the worst choice, skilled day (or 2 to 3 day) trades will give you a much better chance to win.
