Welcome to Mr. Taylor’s Economics Stock Market Challenge 2012 Click on the link for the game below. Register with the Virtual Stock Market Game. Be sure to use your real name (first and last) so that I will be able to track your progress. You will have a virtual $100,000 to invest in your portfolio. Your initial investment must include at least ten different companies. Money not invested will remain in your cash account that will accrue interest at the rate of 4% annually. You will have the opportunity to buy stock on margin (up to 100% of your original portfolio). If you borrow on margin, margin funds will be charged interest at the rate of 6% annually. You may only buy stocks traded publicly on the NYSE, AMEX, or NASDAQ. No stocks selling for under $5 per share may be purchased. To receive full credit, you must invest at least $99,000 and must be invested in at least ten companies, Each trade to buy or sell stocks will be charged a fee of $10 which will affect your overall profitability. You may buy or sell stocks at any time after the original investment, but remember that each transaction is charged a virtual fee. The top three portfolios in the class will receive 25 points extra credit. The top portfolio in each class will receive a large Hershey chocolate bar as a prize. Good Luck! |
