Stock Market Game Blog

This semester, you will be playing the Stock Market Game and managing a $100,000 investment portfolio with your partner. Each week, you will reflect on how your portfolio performed and provide your thoughts in a blog post that your teacher, classmates, and others will be able to read and respond to.


This will give you a chance to offer and ask for advice and/or warnings about certain investments, provide your reactions to market activity and news that has occurred over the week, and indicate your hopes and predictions regarding where the markets (and your specific investments in the SMG) are heading.

Cash Balance- $49,755.76
Equity-$99,376.41
Buying Power-$99,443.97 (positive)
Ranking-28/56
Top 3 account holdings- CVX, $102.11, $105.25, $78.47
DFT, $32.99, $33.35, $72.68
RUSHA, $27.70, $27.63, $-7.43

We feel very worried about our portfolio at this time. We only have two positive net gains. We have a total of $688.45 in net loss. Our total net cost is $50309.10. Our stocks that are doing well are DFT and CVX. The DOW was down yesterday which is why we believe that our stocks are preforming poorly. It is not a good time to sell our stocks.

We would like to see our stocks rise in value. We hope to eventually sell our stocks at a much higher price than what we bought them. Pretty much all of our stocks are preforming poorly including companies such as Disney and Apple. We are kind of surprised that Apple is down so low but we hope to see it rise as college students prepare for school by buying new computers, ect. We still have about fifty thousand dollars left to spend so hopefully the stocks that we buy in the future will perform well. Analysts predict that 2015 is not a good year to sell stocks which is unfortunate for us since we only have a limited time to build our portfolio and sell our stocks.
