BC Students Win Regional Stock Market Game

Students win at stock market making a 20% profit in eight weeks to turn a virtual $100,000 into $119,790 playing the stock market game.   Three Benedictine Military School (BC) students recently won at this region’s level of the Stock Market Game and will attend at the Stock Market Game banquet this spring.

BC students Cameron Kangeter, Taylor Robinson, and Carson Villa took top honors in this region for the Stock Market Game, making a 20% profit in eight weeks on their virtual $100,000 stock portfolio. The team chose the investments that led them to grow the $100,000 into $119,790.

Ana Gerry, a mathematics teacher at BC, had students utilize the trademarked Stock Market Game and taught the students how to buy, sell, short sell, and short cover stocks as well as find stocks on google finance and determine whether or not the stock was a good deal.  “I also taught them how to read and interpret the graphs related to each stocks performance,” Gerry explains, adding “once a week we went to the computer lab for about 15 minutes so they could trade and research stocks.  They could also do this from home, but here at school we could discuss it at length and if they had any questions I could help them.”

Using a live trading simulator, the Stock Market Game program has given educators a way to improve the learning experiences as students use a virtual cash account of $100,000 to create the best –performing portfolio.  The Stock Market Game is the only stock market simulator supported by the New York Stock Exchange (reference: www.stockmarketgame.org).
