Alex Lega '21 and Canyon Reeves '21 (team name: "Bababooey") finished first out of the ten teams in my two sections and had the biggest gains ever during my thirteen-year tenure at Moravian Academy. After a ten-week period, they finished with more than $125K in their portfolio, more than a 25% return on their initial $100K investment.
This placed them fifth out of 75 in the East region and eleventh out of 431 in what The Stock Market Game refers to as "coordinator rankings," which are effectively the rankings for the state of Pennsylvania. Their success is especially impressive this year considering the volatile economic situation the world is facing.
The Stock Market Game is "an online simulation of the global capital markets that engages students grades 4-12 in the world of economics, investing and personal finance and that has prepared nearly 20 million students for financially independent futures." It is a program of the SIFMA Foundation.
