The Stock Market Challenge is an unpredictable ride through the highs and lows of the stock market! All the energy and excitement of the stock trading floor is simulated in this innovative and high-tech event. Thirty teams compete against each other in a race to accumulate the highest portfolio.
May the Best Traders Win!
• Teams begin the game with $500,000 trading dollars toinvest in fictitious stock. • Once the trading begins every 80 seconds is a new trading day in a volatile market! • Players track their stock portfolio and team standings on three massive screens at the front of the room. • Teams buy and sell stocks from student runners equipped with hand held computers that instantly send trades to the system. Teams may add to their portfolio through real dollar purchases of additional ‘trading dollars’. • The team with the largest portfolio after 60 days of trading compressed into two hours - WINS!
The fast pace of Stock Market Challenge makes for a terrific team dynamic! Strategy is essential and split second decisions are vital. Proceeds support the delivery of Junior Achievement programs which help students assess their educational goals, understand their future financial responsibilities and realize their individual potential.
