One begins the first Monday in October, and the other begins the last Monday in February. The Cal State Hayward Center for Economic Education has offered a stock market simulation continuously since 1978. We are proud of our extremely reliable trade processing system and our record of excellence in economic education. Internet trades receive 15 minute-delayed prices. Students may trade mutual funds and preferred stocks as well as common stocks.
Stocks earn dividends, and cash held earns interest.
All teams may trade via FAX or Internet or both. Teachers may call toll-free numbers for answers to questions and for faxing in trades. A free Saturday morning workshop is held for teachers before each simulation. Sponsored or low-priced newspapers are supplied by the San Francisco Chronicle Newspapers in Education Program to participating schools. In addition to prizes and recognition for winning teams, we offer scholarships for high school seniors, grants for outstanding teachers, and computers for the classroom.
