You have $100,000 to invest in 10 stocks, $10,000 in each stock. You can't keep a large amount in cash, and you can't change your choices. Set up a watch account as I demonstrated in Powerpoint slide, in Yahoo finance portfolios, my handy dandy Excel spreadsheet, or in any free web-based tracker.

Upload your spreadsheet or screenshot (if tracking online) here for credit. No fractional shares:

For example, if AMZN (one of my favs in my portfolio) is purchased at $2700 a share, then you can only buy 3 shares to stay under the $10000 limit per holding.

HOWEVER, if you've maximized the number of whole shares you can buy, and you're still under the $100,000 limit, then you can add shares beyond the $10,000 limit per company until you spend as much of the $100,000 you can.

Also, give me your rationale for picking the companies you did.

Why did you select each one?
