PCG

This is a fun challenge, but like you said the way it’s set up incentivizes you to pick really risky stocks. This is the actual antithesis of value investing, so I’d go full port TQQQ tbh. 
If I had to pick individual companies and not ETFs, I’d probably pick a beaten-up AI name like ORCL or maybe TSLA or SPCX. BSX could be good too, but I don’t think PCG is it.

So in order to teach kids the stock market in our school, they host a stock simulation game, where you get 50k virtual money and whoever performs best at the end gets a cash price. Im investing myself so I am aiming to win this price. funny enough this teaches kids more to invest risky and short term, as it only lasts until february, so imo its not the best lesson. But this brings another problem, im normally only investing for the long term and im not great at picking short term stocks. So question for this sub, what are some undervalued stocks, ideally trading at a 52-week low, that could bounce back in the next couple weeks/months. I cant invest in crypto or options. Right now im looking at PCG, BSX, UWS. Thanks for the help!
