I am proud to announce that we have Challenge teams at Reiffton who have done very well on the Stock Market Game of PA this spring. My top team earned nearly 34% above the Standard & Poor's 500 Growth. They earned $33,959.28 profit, (after broker's fees) in just ten weeks. My second place team, also did well with $23, 761.22 profit. I cut and pasted the results below. All in all, every Reiffton team did rather well, each team making a profit after broker's fees. The uncertain economy made for an interesting ten weeks. We learned a lot about setting new priorities and shifting the way we think about money. Checking the Financial Times (of London) on a regular basis helped me to make some interesting observations to bring to class discussions on American Finance. It is fascinating to look at the world financial situation from a different point of view in the changing face of capitalism. In some ways, though, we just hit it lucky with our educated guesses. It was fun, but we all realized that the more we learn, the more we discover how much more there is to learn. | Rank | Team ID | % Return Above/Below S&P 500 Growth | Total Equity | School / Organization | Advisor / Participant |
