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.

Our stocks have done better over the past week. I think all stocks had a bit of an increase. but i think our stocks are also doing better because of the weather changing and influencing our stocks.

We are still waiting on our stocks to increase. Hopefully with the warmer weather the stocks will continue to rise. They are stocks that will do better in the nicer weather. We are planning on keeping all of our stocks until they make us some money.

  1. I think it's a good idea to hold on to your stocks that aren't doing that well right now. If you sell them now you'll just lose money, but if you keep them there's a possibility they will go back up and start making money. You guys also might want to find some more stocks to invest in and spend the rest of your money.

  2. I think that UPS has a higher probability of going up. With the warmer season, more and more people will be buying and shipping in swimwear and pool things, which will make UPS money.
