I am a Senior at THE Ohio State University, and I threw my hat into the proverbial ring back during my freshman year. I've been picking stocks most of my life, but only recently have I had my own funds to put into the game. I'm testing my hand and seeing whether my hypothetical investing returns will maintain pace once they become real returns.

-
AAPL
Apple Inc. - $202.98
- +0.75%
- $201.07
The best tech company of my generation IMO. They have found their stride as a hip, innovation-based company based on their success with the iPod, and have let that product creativity flow into all areas of the company. I would not be surprised to see this hit 200. And then 250. They've got consumer electronics and the all important college and young professional crowd under their spell. Plus, don't look now, but they are selling desktops.

SLB
Schlumberger Ltd - $65.38
- +0.38%
- $64.88
I think this might be the easiest pick. Oil is expensive, and I don't foresee a world where oil is needed less rather than more. I feel we are probably a decade or more from any real dent in demand coming from alternative fuels/methods of transportation.

PG
Procter Gamble - $61.86
- +0.02%
- $61.58
I'm a young, brash college student who wants his stocks to go up every day, but I'm no dumb-dumb. If things get bad, as they very well might going into the next 6-18 months, multiple expansion will be waiting.

GME
Gamestop Corp - $25.18
- 0.00%
- $N/A
Just a fantastic company. Plus, it's video games, so I definitely understand it. I think they will just continue to strongly outpace the market because of Halo 3 this fall/winter. I am surprised that they do so well in a consumer entertainment tech space with so many different ways for their tech-savvy customer base to pick up what they sell. In fact, that they do so well with so many other ways to buy video games is further encouragement. They know their stuff, and sell it well in store.
