We did something similar in high school economics class back in the 1980s: we selected and followed a small portfolio of stocks for a semester. I remember choosing Motorola, Northrop, Huffy, Grubb & Ellis, and Toys R Us. The experience strongly influenced my gravitation to index investing and holding over the long term.
Those in California and New Jersey should also know that those states do not conform to federal HSA tax law. Employer materials often do not mention this pitfall. Please do your research before you sign up and contribute.
