R-III Elementary students take four of top five places in Stock Market Games
The Stock Market Game™ program was implemented in 1977 to allow students to experience the realities of investing. Students research and evaluate stocks, and make decisions based on what they have learned. Teams trade common stocks and mutual funds from the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges, earn interest on cash balances, pay interest if buying on margin, and pay a commission on all trades. To determine why certain stocks perform a particular way or why the broader market has moved up or down, they need to understand how the economy works and to calculate their returns they need to do the math.
