Learning about the stock market through a virtual simulation is a new way to engage students!
Instead of using real money to invest/trade, virtual money is given to students who can buy stocks online. The prices of the stocks through the simulation match the actual value of the stock and can rise or fall with the outside stock market. Why introduce a Stock Market Simulation Club? Simple! Studies show that up to fifty-two percent of adults use the stock market to gain money or trade on margin. These skills are essential and will give you an insight to the economy. By using this simulation, you will be able to experience what the stock market is like beforehand, giving you early experience and skills that will be sure to help you in the future. The simulation also allows for group contests, where each user is ranked (within the school) based on how much money they were able to profit when they bought stocks. Stock prices go up, and you make money, vice versa. One student in the club says that this club “is a valuable tool to be introduced in a high school and provides skills that will help in the future, as well as engaging students in friendly competition.” If you feel like this club is right for you, it’s not too late to join and we hope to see you there!
