Every year, Mrs. Steel’s 5th grade mathclass learns about the economy, investing prudently, and all about thefundamentals <strong>of</strong> the stock market. We all participated in the Stock MarketGame. For those who aren’t acquainted with the Stock Market Game, itis a game where middle school students from all over South Jersey aregiven a fictional $100,000 to invest in public companies on the stockmarket. My group and I had a high-quality run in the game; we evenmade it to 1st place! Nevertheless, we started small, and dreamt big likeall impending companies!We started out with smaller companies like Target (TGT) Micros<strong>of</strong>t(MSFT) and Bank <strong>of</strong> America (BAC) but, then, we graduated to our bigmiracle-worker, Apple (AAPL)! After three days <strong>of</strong> having Apple we skyrocketedright up to 1st , 2nd , and 3rd place, but when we sold it, wewent STRAIGHT DOWN! In the end, we ended up in 62nd place. Eventhough some people had mixed opinions, I would say we all enjoyed theexperience!All <strong>of</strong> us owe a HUGE thanks to Mrs. Steel and Mr. Stuart Altschuler(who came in and taught us for a day) for teaching us so many good lifelessons like how to make a Google spreadsheet, “buy low, sell high”, andwell, EVERYTHING about the stock market.I encourage everyone to play the stock market.
