Hey all,
I've been a lurker of this sub for awhile now but I have never made a post before so cut me a little slack if the post is a little hard to read.
Anyways, I consider myself somewhat new to investing but it is definitely something I've been interested in the past few years. I'm a senior in college and my investing class is running a 10 week project on Think or Swim in which we are given 1,000,000 dollars to invest and whoever has the largest profit at the end wins. We are also given bonus points if we beat the S&P 500 over this period. Lastly, e are allowed to trade anything the platform offers.
As a new investor, I came here wondering if anyone would be able to give me any tips to go about this project. Since it is such a small time period, I assume stocks will not behave the same as they would in the long run. For example, I may not want to invest in Apple for the next 10 weeks even though it may be a safe play in the long term. We can also trade options and such which I have a little experience with if that is a route worth taking.
Any tips or help is greatly appreciated. I am always open for a discussion to learn new things in the markets. Thanks for reading!
