Stock market silliness

The Stock Market Game gives students the chance to invest a hypothetical $100,000 in a real-time portfolio. They think they’re playing a game. You know they’re learning economic and financial concepts they’ll use for the rest of their lives.

Hey, that’s a good idea: put the secret on the front page that the students see every time they log in.


My class “invested” heavily in Google, Pixar, Starbucks, and Sony. Why? They make things we like, and they seem successful to us.
