The JA Stock Market Challenge
Overview
The JA Stock Market Challenge is an unpredictable ride through the highs and lows of the stock market! All the energy and excitement of the stock trading floor is simulated in this innovative, high-tech event. Teams of four compete in a race to accumulate the highest portfolio.
May the Best Traders Win!
Each team begins the game with $500,000 trading dollars to invest in fictitious stock.
Once the trading begins, every 80 seconds is a new trading day in a volatile market!
Players track their stock portfolio and their team’s standings on three massive screens.
Teams buy and sell stocks from “traders” equipped with hand-held computers that instantly send trades to the system. Corporate teams may add to their portfolio through real dollar purchases of additional “trading dollars.”
Throughout the event, teams receive News Releases and Hot Stock Tips to help them evaluate stock performance.
The team with the largest portfolio after 60 days of trading (compressed into two-hours) WINS!
Fabulous prizes are awarded to the top three teams and the number one team gets the honor of taking The JA Stock Market Challenge Traveling Bull trophy home for the year!
The fast pace of The JA Stock Market Challenge makes for a terrific team dynamic! Strategy is essential and split-second decisions are vital. Students, and adults alike, leave with valuable experience in investing, money management and responsible decision-making. And, they have fun!
They have the dream. You inspire the pursuit. Become a Junior Achievement classroom volunteer and change the lives of Western New York students.
We need volunteers for the fall and spring semesters to teach JA programs. The time commitment is minimal, but the impact is phenomenal!
