Stock Market Game- Initial Investment Strategy

Stocks can usually make or break someone's initial investment. I plan on investing in one major company that stays static. Then I think the way I would make profit is to take a risk in smaller companies and buy 100 - 200 shares of each. I'm not too nervous about losing the money because it is a learning experience. The smaller shares in my opinion will make most of my profit and even if the stock goes down, I still have the major company to keep my profit at a decent balance.
