Matching Investment Goals With Execution. This Course is designed to spark student interest in the stock market and help them learn about the stock market. Stock markets allow people to use their savings to buy stocks. People who buy stocks do so hoping that the stocks will increase in value, thus making their savings grow. All investment decisions involve some risk, however, and people buying stock must also consider that their stock might not increase in value.
Stock markets are important to nearly everyone.
No prior knowledge about the stock market is required. Everything you need to know will be provided in the material distributed to every participant. Trading is based on actual daily market closing prices. The team is allowed to buy and sell stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Each team updates their portfolios weekly showing the current value of their investments and how their team ranks against other teams in their class.
