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 portfolio is doing alright at this time, but we thought we would be doing better after selling our one stock. Since it was up about $20 we thought that would boost us pretty good but I guess since we only had 45 shares of it because it was a very expensive stock, we didn't make that much off of it. We are still doing alright in our ranking, but since last week we dropped back about 10 spaces.
There's not much that we would change, it just depends if the DOW is up or down for the day and that moves us around. Several of of stocks have been positive almost the entire time since we bought them, but other fluctuate greatly, and we would like to see more steady stocks.
