It's time to start another game! But only if you are in 8th grade. The 1920s were the Roaring Twenties, partly because of the economic boom. On the flip side, the start of the Great Depression was marked by the stock market crash. To give us some real world experience and have a little fun at the same time, the 8th graders will compete (in groups) to invest in the stock market to try and make as much profit as possible. Three things to remember:
1) The stock market is not for short-term investing
2) You pay commission on every trade (all the more reason not to worry about small variations in prices)
3) Buy low, sell high!
Happy trading!
