Students get an inside look at business in action.
After an initial investment they may buy, sell, sell short, and buy on margin on a daily basis during the game that lasts 10 weeks. Transaction sheets are forwarded to the Winthrop University Center for Economic Education where they are computer-processed. Students receive a weekly report of their team's portfolio showing their stocks' current values and a listing showing their team's ranking with other teams in the region. Teachers must complete a training session before they can sign up a class for the first time. See your LAN administrator.
