The Missouri Stock Market Gametm is a 10 week Internet educational simulation that encourages students to learn about stock markets and the American economic system. Nationwide, over six million students have participated in this program. Teachers who wish to participate in the game attend workshops to help them understand and manage the game for their schools. In partnership with the Missouri Council on Economic Education, Online Trading Academy Kansas City will provide their state-of-the-art stock trading facilities for this teacher training. “Participating in The Missouri Stock Market Game is a great way for students to learn about the stock market and will help prepare students to join the millions of Americans that do their own investing”, said Ron Booth, President of Online Trading Academy Kansas City.
Overland Park, Kansas. The Stock Market Game™ is used in grades 4-12, college courses, and by those who seek to learn more about investing. Teams of three to five students invest a hypothetical $100,000.00 in a portfolio of stocks and mutual funds listed on the New York and American stock exchanges and the NASDAQ market.
Participants develop skills in personal finance, economics, math, language arts, social studies, business education, and technology while building and maintaining a stock portfolio. Teams use the Internet to follow their portfolios, research stocks, study how the financial markets work, enter trades with real time prices, manage budgets, and see their daily regional and state rankings as they compete with 20 –30 teams in their region. Regions are set using grade level and geographic locations.
