Stock Market Club

The competition was developed to promote a better understanding of the Financial Investment System and how it works. The simulation is geared to helping students understand how to trade in the stock market. They also learn the costs and benefits involved in economic decision making, buyers and market demand, sellers and market supply, and sources and uses of capital. While working in teams, the students have fun and learn some of the mechanics of investing.
