What are the best stocks to invest in right now?

Hello, we are having a project in my Economics class about stocks. He is giving us 0,000 virtual dollars. We have to invest up to 3 stocks. At the end of the 10 weeks whoever has the highest amount of money may raise 15% of his grade. Can you guys give me 5 good stocks that I should invest in? Thank you very much.

I’d watch wachovia stock despite it’s recent drop from $14/share to $1/share.
It’s currently around $4.50/share.
Had you invested in Wachovia (WB) on Monday (74 cents/share) you would have had 450,000K.
Check out the symbol WB for Wachovia and watch it for the next few days. Good Luck.

Take a look at Xearn.com. It has the same concept – you manage a virtual portfolio of $100,000. You can see what others are investing in and look at their track record to decide whose picks to follow.
