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.

Cash Balance: $551.13
Total Equity: $98,438.13
Buying Power: $49,770.20
Ranking: 55 out of 65
Top Acct. Holdings:
REGN, $433.29 $/share, $453.19 $/share, $796.00
DST, $107.14  $/share, $114.55 $/share, $740.92
MA, $89.65 $/share, $89.32 $/share, -$49.90
Our portfolio is not doing too well right now because the stocks that we invested in are long term stocks that slowly increase over a long period of time.
They are not positive right now because the market has its ups and downs. 
REGN is a biotech stock that Jim Cramer has recommended to buy into and hold for the "long haul". 
Our only hope at this point is for the biotech stocks to bounce back up and bring us out of this red slump. 

 Just like everyone else we are hoping for our stocks to finally go positive again so then we can compete with everyone again.
Most of our stocks are predicted to rise about $40 or more by the end of the year but right now they're in a slump.
Analysts predict, as a low 1yr est. to be $30+. I agree with the analysts because if it does happen then our portfolio will finally start to make a profit.
Specifically in our portfolio, Actavis needs to rebound so then we can sell it without taking a loss.

    We were also advised to buy into REGN, which has caused us to lose $635. We were expecting to make money on this stock rather than it be one of our worst stocks. If you're losing money on this stock, it is recommended to hold onto this stock at a 1.9 rating.

    The only thing we can recommend is to sell some of the bad stocks. It is also not a bad idea to hang on some stocks that are suppose to do better. Maybe try investing in some other stocks SNE has been doing well for us.

    This sounds terrible and I'm not sure why you decided to buy high end stocks but that is the opposite of what we did. We bought cheap stocks so we could have more of them which does give a chance of losing a lot but if you gain, you really gain money.

    We also invested in biotechnology stocks and both are costing us a lot of money. Hopefully the department does bounce back so it won't cause our rankings to be so low.

    You guys are doing alright but you should really invest with your buying power you have left to try and earn more money to improve your ranking.

    I think you should spend every cent you have left into stocks.
