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.

7,283.21
99,379.79
56,973.13 Positive
48/65
AEO-$16.56, $17.90, $268.61
CVX-$102.11, $106.50, $109.72
AAPL-$127.21, $126.85, -$10.54
We feel a little unsure about or portfolio at this time. We aren't sure why our stocks are down as much as they are. Our only stocks that are preforming in the positive are American Eagle and CVX. We arent sure why our stocks are performing this badly, maybe because the economy is down and might pick back up as summer comes around. Facebook and KORS are our worst preforming stocks right now, we are losing a total of 850 dollars on those stocks alone. We believe this is happening because other social media sites are more popular and people aren't buying jewelry at this time.

We would like to see our portfolio come back up into the positive as everyone else would. Our yearly targets are all way above what the price of shares are going for now so we expect to see them rise in the near future. I agree with what the analysts are predicting only because they know more than what i know about stocks and the economy at this time. We will need to see at least half of our current stocks to be in the positive numbers for us to feel more confident.
