Hi asked:


What are good stocks to buy in the short term?

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?

I was planning on purchasing shares in Vanguard’s 2055 retirement mutual fund. However there is a $3000 minimum initial deposit to start a fund.

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.

I purchased 200 stocks in a company back in 1997 through H.J. Meyers & Co. Inc. From looking online they appear to have closed their doors amongst some scandal some time ago. The company I bought stock in is still operating (PMTI). How do I claim my stock certificates and succesfully sell my stock in this company ?

I am new to stocks overall. I would like to know how can I short sell stocks online with a discount online brokerage such as Etrade, TDameritrade, charlesshwab, etc. It is even possible to short sell stocks online with a discount brokerage or will I have to contact individual brokerages?

I’ve noticed that there are numerous, numerous mutual fund companies that have funds with expense ratios exceeding 2, 3, and even 4 percent. With fund companies like Vanguard and Fidelity offering funds with expeses that are a fraction of that, why are people still investing in high-expense funds?
