What are some good companies to invest in as of 2008 ?

Question

I need a list for class project.?

Answer 1

It depends on your strategy.  Do you want to invest or trade.  What is your trading strategy.  One doesn't just buy and sell without a strategy.   What is your trading time period.  If you are talking a couple of years buy the Autos.  F (ford)  and GM (General Motors).  Both stocks are at lows, and have a recovery plan over the next two years.  These stocks should bounce 30%, ( I would sell then) and buy back again in when they reverse approx. 20%.)  These stocks will not go straight up like WMT (Walmart) which I also recommend long term
