text: what stocks are good this year? i'm doing the stock market game in school and i have 100 thousand dollars.  i have to buy at least 100 stocks if i decide to buy the company's stock.  the stock needs to be more than 5 dollars per share.  help!  i know stuff about the market and how it works but not the ticker stuff and all that. please help! as oil prices soar, so do the profits of oil companys. if i were given some "monopoly money" that's were i would invest it. even if the world begins to run out of oil they'll still find a way to make big bucks. brittish petroleum exxon-mobil and more that i can't think of right now...
