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.

Right now, our portfolio isn't doing the best but I think part of that comes from the DOW being down so much lately. There hasn't been a chance for the stocks to go up because it goes down the next day. Almost all of the stocks we have are a couple dollars away from being over our purchase price, but once they get close to passing that price, it goes back down. 
We would both like to see the DOW go up for a longer period of time so we can see our stocks go up and we could begin to make money on our purchases. I think only time will allow our stocks to rise, so we just got to wait and see what happens.

    We totally agree with what your saying with the DOW being down we all are losing money on our stocks. I would recommend buying HOG they are doing good for us and would help you to earn money. Also you may want to look at stocks during the time the DOW is down.

    We are also losing tons of money, over 2 thousand dollars because all our stocks are going down in the hundreds
