When I asked...

1) Would a paper trade on a daily basis for a month mimic a monthly close enough that this would suffice or should I do it for (x) months instead?



You replied (quite correctly reading my intentions)

1) I think you are asking about practicing, if so then pick 6 securities that over the last two years Went up, Went down, Went up and then back to start, Went down and then up to start, Went up and down a few times, Was relatively flat. Write down the monthly close for the last two years, and use those to practice. Note the results. AIM will do better in 5 out of 6.



When I asked for suggested stocks to paper trade to meet the suggestions above you said:

Hi SF

I DON'T suggest stocks

I suggest ETFs

Look at Vanguard or I shares



But that doesn't answer the question I had, which was what stocks/etfs/whatever would meet your suggested criteria for paper trades for practice?

thanks,

Allen
