No prior knowledge of the stock market is required. Everything you need to know will be provided on line, in the materials that are distributed and in free regional training workshops. A variety of additional teaching materials are available for a nominal charge. It is recommended that teachers and adults new to the Stock Market Game attend one of the workshops. In addition to sessions providing instructions on the Game, the workshops will also include presentations by local stock brokers on general investment principles and terminology.
Trading is based on actual daily market closing prices.
Portfolios are updated daily and rankings, based on portfolio values, are calculated weekly by regions on Friday nights. Regions are determined by grade level for secondary student teams, with separate regions for college players and adults. At the end of ten weeks state and regional winners are announced and prizes are awarded. For more information e-mail Dorothy Hughes, Stock Market Game Coordinator.
