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.

Week 4

Total Balance $10,300.58
Equity $98,692.58
Buying Power $59,646.80
57 of 65
Top 3: AMBA, $70.70, $75.76, +$456
           AAPL (stock 1), $124.74, $126.85, +$105.75
           AAPL (Stock 2), $126.25, $126.85, +$30.25
We feel that the majority of our stocks aren't doing very well. We are only making money on 2 stocks really, out of the many that we've bought. Our best stock is AMBA, because it has already exceeded it's one year target that was set in place before we bought it. This could be occurring due to the DOW being up.
DD and REGN are doing the worst. We are losing $935.35 on DD and $$633.94 on REGN. We believe this is happening because they haven't reached their yearly target estimates. REGN is down right now. DD experienced a drop for a few days, but now it is starting to increase. REGN is down but showing a gradual increase towards the yearly target estimate.
We expected these stocks to be 2 of our best stocks and they are failing to do so. We hope this will change in the near future as a result to this gradual increase. Analysis say that this is a strong buy now. We believe we may hold on to this because it's starting to do better now. Analysis say that DD is a stock that we should hold on to. We want to hold on to this because we still have hope that it will reach it's yearly target estimate.

  1. We also have only two stocks that are positive right now. Hopefully if you guys hold on to REGN and DD they will go up to their yearly target estimates. If your bad stocks become positive, but they have hit their highest point, it might be a good idea to just sell them if you don't think they will go up anymore.
