I'm in a competition where we have to pick a stock that is under $2 a share as of 10/31. We hypothectically buy and hold 1 share for 6 weeks and see who has the best rate of return. No shorting either.

I'm wondering if anyone can give me any suggestion before I start my search. Thanks!

I would go with MF if you were going to take a huge risk.

I gave out MF because either way, good or bad it would for sure be a wild ride and worth discussion. Of course I did not and would not buy any of it unless the money was 100% risk capital, fully able to flush if it didn't work out. Contests at school or fun aren't meant to be boring and safe, going with MF would be a crazy move and it would be discussed win or lose.

MF will no longer be with us in the near future

Funny you mentioned this because after the MF news this morning I ended up picking SIRI. 

I actually bought some back when it was .10 cents a few years ago when it was on the verge of bankruptcy. Just kind of rolled the dice with some extra cash I had on hand. Ended up selling it months later for $1.20. 

Such a crazy morning because I had to have my pick in by 4 pm PST today and I was going to roll the dice with MF until this morning. Crazy day. After reading up on them I thought for sure someone would come to their rescue. Guess I was wrong. 

Thanks for the input and discussion everyone.
