Stock Market Game in H.S. Economics

In Mr. Harney’s Economics class this past semester, students have been researching and investing in the Stock Market. The classes have examined the concept of savings and investing through various methods, along with a field trip to our local Financial Institutions. Students are currently studying how “Money Can Work for You”, focusing specifically on the risks and rewards of our investment options.   They have been participating in the Stock Market Game and investing $100,000 in a competitive simulation. Each team has diversified their portfolios and investments. Mr. William Dolly, Financial Planner/Investment Broker from Leigh Baldwin & Co., came into the classes and shared strategies, tips and thoughts about the current market. The students used much of that presentation to help them with their portfolios and to understand the different strategies to achieve their investing goals.
