What is an interesting stock to write a report on for class? - Macattack92 - 03-24-2014 11:31 AM
I need to follow a stock for one semester and write reports on it for a finance class. Any ideas for an interesting stock pick?

there are some stocks that are "interesting" - GOOGLE, TWITTER & FACEBOOK
I would love to see a paper on how company profits are not indicative of the market price of a stock.
A company can have almost no income or no profits but can have market price greater than many other companies

Go for it kid, most people in the class will try to pick a "good" stock that will double in price, make your report different and interesting and watch you teach squirm and try to explain it.

Alliance Fiber Optics (AFOP). My friend just lost a lot of money on it yesterday when the price tanked. She was crying when she got home from school and found out.

Disney might be a good choice with easy to find articles, but consider 3D Systems.
(Maybe Tesla or Hain Celestial Group)

Blackberry (BB.TO) is the best to write a "report" since it is going through some major changes and volitality of this stock is great. This is a HOT stock right now and ivestments in this stock can be paind off in huge returns if this company survives this full year with balance sheets turned to positive.

A great company to review is CTO (Consolidated Tomoka). The company has hidden asset. You will look extremely bright if you uncover and discuss why the company is so undervalued. I would be willing to give you a head start. You can contact me through my website: investletter dot com.

Tractor Supply Company (TSC). You can get all of the relevant information for the stock that you select through Morningstart, Yahoo Finance or TheStreet.com.

You might look at GNI (Great Northern Iron). The stock just recently crashed from $60 per share down to $20. According to their annual reports (usually around page 6), the company states that it will dissolve in 2015, however many large index funds were not aware of this and continued to pay an extremely high price for the stock. After an article was published a few weeks ago about the dissolution of the company, the market finally reacted and the stock plummeted. It's kind of a unique story which isn't too difficult to understand, and shows how inefficient the stock market can be.

I would go for something other than the obvious. How about Ulta (ULTA)? That is a growing chain of cosmetic retail stores. Another one I like is FRGI, Fiesta Restaurant Group. They are going after the Hispanic market with two regional chains, Pollo Tropicale and Taco Cabana. Another interesting stock is Tesla (TSLA) which is the only maker of all-electric cars.
