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.

I am not feeling that good about our portfolio right now. There are only a few weeks left and Actavis and Chipotle just keep going down. I am not really sure why these stocks are performing so poorly because they both have very high yearly target estimates. Luckily Regeneron and DST Systems are still doing very well.

Right now the thing I would want to see most is Actavis and Chipotle go up before the game is over. If this would happen our ranking would definitely increase dramatically. The target estimate for Actavis is about $340 and the target estimate for Chipotle is about $740. I would also like to see our good investments like Regeneron and DST Systems continue to go up.

  1. We looked into buying Chipoltle but I guess it's good that we didn't. Try to spend that last five hundred dollars. Under Armor is performing very well for us. Like you said, there's only a few weeks left of this game so it will be good to try to invest your money as soon as you can!

  2. Sorry to hear about that, most likely it will be a good investment just not right now. It will most likely take more time for it to go up. Even though we only have a few weeks left remember things can change in less then a day.
