What is the Stock Market Competition?
High school students can explore what it takes to succeed on Wall Street during the largest single-day Student Stock Market Competition in North America.
In this high-tech stock market simulation, student teams are given $1,000,000 to invest in over 50 fictitious stocks. With trading days lasting just 60 seconds, the goal is to build the highest portfolio net worth in a frantic 60 “days.”
Sponsoring businesses are encouraged to field their own teams for the action-packed evening event. Just like the student teams, corporate teams compete to amass the highest net-worth at the end of the trading period.
