JA STOCK MARKET CHALLENGE

The JA Stock Market Challenge follows the in classroom curriculum of JA Take Stock in Your Future which introduces students to the fundamentals of stocks and bonds, the impact of world events on the stock market, long-term investing, and how investors make decisions to diversify their portfolios. 

P1049724

Following the in-classroom portion of JA Take Stock In Your Future, teams of local high school students compete in a live, fast-paced stock market simulation to see who can grow their initial investment into the largest net work mock stock portfolio. Every 60 seconds in the simulation equates to one full day of trading, creating the same urgency and intensity investors would have on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Are you up for the challenge? To learn more about how you can become a valued JA Stock Market Challenge partner please contact Courtney.Vonhollen@ja.org.
