My econ class is playing a stock game but using the real stock markets. I have $100,000 to spend. I am hoping to find some stocks that are going up in the short term because school ends in two months.
Any good suggestions?

Does this minimum still apply if I bought shares in the fund through a low-cost broker such as Tradeking that let me purchase individual funds and stocks? Or would this fund not be available through them?
If it is, would it make sense to buy it through them and avoid the fees associated with Vanguard?
Tradeking is $4.95 per trade. I don’t believe there are any other fees with them.
