1. Stock Market Game

2. In your current events teams you buy and sell stock on either the NASDAQ or NYSE. Only these exchanges can be used, so if the stock of company you want to buy isn’t on either of these markets you can’t buy it. You will be able to gain or loose current event points based on how your team does compared to your starting amount

3. Rules to Stock Market Game 1.Each Team Starts with $500,000. At any given time you cannot have more than 20% ($100,000) of the original amount in reserve. 2.At all times your team must own at least 5 stocks and no more than 15. Failure to stay within this range will result points lost. Stocks can only be bought and sold in class. 3.Each team member must select and buy one of the stocks the team owns 4. Every Stock bought or sold must have my initials on it to verify the price and amount.

4. Scoring in Stock Market Game. 1. Every few weeks we will have a stock reporting day. On this day the value of stocks owned or any sold in the proceeding weeks will be compared to your original $500,000. Any increase or decrease will be adjusted to reflect on your current events score. Remember that this will be a rolling score with points added on the reporting date. 2. For each $1000 increased/decreased you will receive an increase/decrease of 10 points 3. A final reporting date showing the total amount increased/decreased from the original amount should balance up against your rolling score. The teams with the top increases will get: (1.) 1000 (2.) 600 (3.) 300

5. Scoring of Stock Market Game 3. If you have an increase/decrease in a stocks value during one reporting period it will count against your current events score for that period. In the next reporting period If you do not sell a stock and it continues to increase the additional rise in value, not the previous increase, will improve your score. Yet, if you do not sell it and it falls even further in price the additional drop, not the original decrease, will be added to your score. ex: stock A increase your value $5000 on a reporting day. You get 50 points. On the next reporting day the stock increases another $2000, a $7000 total from the original amount, you only get 20 points added to your current events score.

6. Record Keeping 1. Each Team will receive a folder to be kept in class. Each folder contains Stock purchase sheets and Stock Portfolio Sheets. Every Stock owned will be listed on the Stock purchase sheet with date, quantity, price and value being tracked. On the Stock Portfolio sheet you will list each individual stock on its original purchase date, reporting dates and any sell dates. Its this sheet that will be used to score on reporting days.
