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 FEEL OUR PORTFOLIO COULD DO BETTER, BUT I'M STILL HAPPY WITH HOW IT IS DOING. MY NIKE AND RITE-AID STOCKS ARE DOING THE BEST. WE DID JUST SELL THEM THOUGH AND WE SHOULD MAKE A SOLID CHUNK OF MONEY ON BOTH OF THEM,

    It doesn't surprise me that Nike is doing well just because of how popular it is, but Rite-Aid does surprise me. It is a long term investment so stick with it and don;t sell

    Congrats on the "poi" you should look into diversifying your portfolio so then you won't get hit as hard if one sector performs poorly one day. Nike is a good long term investment so you should try to buy in again when the stock price dips. Try to use the extra cash that is sitting in your portfolio on some smaller but consistent stocks so you can make even more profits.
