    I'm entered in a competition with my college (http://proshare.innovation.gov.uk ). Basically we have £100,000 in imaginary money to invest, and the team who make the most money win £2000 for their college and a trip to a financial centre.

    The problem is we're supposed to research what to invest in, and I haven't got a clue where to start. Can anyone offer some advice to a share n00b?

    www.fool.co.uk .. Always served me well, I still don't fully understand it but it's a very good starting point.

    Yea, buy nVidia. Last time I checked, the price was on the floor. With NV30 and if nForce2 ever actually comes out, it's near gauranteed to go back up.

    (sorry)

    Thanks for advice so far btw. I'm not sure if nVidia is possible though as it seems to be limited to the larger companies like Micro$oft for the international ones.

    I was thinking AMD... if you have enough time to wait until the clawhammers come out... Current price is ~$3.80/share...

    Yea. The best advice anyone can give is, invest in what you know.
    Of course anything relating to the big players in the tech industry is a prime target for us.
