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.

We are feeling good about our portfolio right now even though we are not doing that well. 
Regeneron is performing well right now and this is because of the new drugs they are 
producing. DST Systems is also doing pretty well right now and we hope it continues to go 
up. One of the companies we are invested in that is not doing too well is Actavis, but we 
think it will go back up and start making money.

Right now we would really like to see Actavis and Chipotle go up. They are both estimated to 
go up right now. The analysts are giving Actavis a 1.7 and Chipotle a 2.1. We agree with there
opinion on Actavis, but not on Chipotle.  We think Chipotle is definitely a 1.6 or 1.7.

    We also looked REGN for our first portfolio, the only problem was we lost lots of money in Tesla and du Pont, so we couldnt buy it. But it looked like a good buy, REGN.

    There is still a lot of time for stocks to change. Even though you say you're not doing well one thing could make a great difference. I also think that Chipotle is higher then a 2.1

    I suggest EA, we took it and so far it's made a lot of money. Lately it seems to keep climbing, so look for the right time to buy

    we saw Chipotle is higher then a 2.1. But we agree that Chipotle is a good buy because it is a fast food restaurant and they tend to do well. We think it is a good idea if you guys hold on to Chipotle.
