school project on investing

hey guys, im taking a economic financial course at university.

my goal is to be the top of the class in order to get 2% ontop of my final mark. i know its really insignificant but im the kind of person that doesn't want my peers beating me.

if any of you guys can give me advice on this i will be surely grateful.
i just opened an account at www.stocktrak.com and the rules are here

i have until december and i want to be an semi aggressive investor.

Well the market is breaking out, so you would probably want to be long more aggressive, high beta stocks for such a short period.

Try and do a stock scan for companies with high volatility and at or near highs..

Like RIMM, FSLR, DRYS, GOOG, AAPL and on and on and on..

is there a website that u recommend me checking out?

i bought some rimm and apple already..i just started to get into the lingo and stuff.

Do your due dilgence, if you are truly an academia.   If you are my humblest apologies, RAISE THE BAR.. If you are not, we don't expect to hear from you anytime soon.
