for my economics class, our assignment is to select 2 companies from nyse and "buy" $5000 worth of stock. we can split the money between the two companies any way we would like. we must record closing price 3 times a week for 6 weeks. at the end of the 6 weeks we are to write a report about why we chose each stock and why their prices changed the way they did. we are also to stick to large, well-known companies that are easy to follow. thanks for any help.
Use the msn stock screener.
Look for low p/e, low debt/equity, high growth.

Their earnings per share is insane for the stock price.
Did they say you could do ETFs?
Look at FXI, IRL, PGJ
One ETF i'd especially like to stress is PKW, it tracks an index of companies that have bought back their own stock in the last 12 months.
