$10,000, one month

For a recent project and investment study I'v been given $10,000 virtual dollars with the task of gaining as much money as possible up till May the 23rd.

I'm competing with 7 other groups, each with the same task. The point is to beat out the other teams, so I'll have to be risky. 2nd is as bad as last.

I can pick from the following stocks:

Walmart
Home Depot
Google
Hewlett Packard Co.
Peabody Energy
Microsoft
Coca Cola
Bed, Bath and Beyond
Apple
Ebay
Research in Motion
Starbucks
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts
Johnson and Johnson
Int. Business Machines

Which would be the best bet for quick gains? Also we can buy and sell during this competition as much as needed.

Those are good picks, of them I think ebay is the most important. Buyers are itching for deals & ebay provides those deals right now.

Along with ebay, Google is best. Google is the leader now over Internet.

I'll pick Google and eBay in that order.

Google is currently dominating the Internet and eBay,
like ExecutiveIncome2You rightly said is really feeding
itchy buyers with all kinds of stuff very conveniently.

Cheers!

I like Google and Ebay. Google is buying up many popular websites and offering new services each day. Also, they have the android G1 phone. They are soon to roll out free voicemail and other products and services. Ebay seems like a good buy since people go there to find good deals in this harsh economy. Also, there are many turning to ebay as a means of earning income via selling or auctioning things.
