So Christmas seems like the time to invest toy stores and clothing stores. You figure that people will be buying a lot of presents, the stores will be making a lot of money, and the stocks will go up. But they are not as much as you would expect. I think it is because of the internet. There are sites like ebay and overstock that are profiting much more than toy companies and there stocks are going up. I just thought that it was interesting how much the internet has changed our world, even the stock market.
I am working on an econ project in which we have to buy stocks over a month period and try to make as much money as possible so any suggestions about what to invest in would be greatly appreciated.
The stock market.

Is that study where a chicken randomly pecking out stocks performs as well as a stockbroker an urban myth or what? It kinda seems like even the pros have very little idea about what is going to happen in the market. I watched some stock show with my grandpa at the end of last year and they were summing up how well these big wig brokers did and more than half of them actually lost money overall on their portfolios.
