Stock Market Challenge |
Help raise funds for the GJOC!
What: The club raises funds when a player contributes
$25 to play the game. In short, the $25 lets the player
"purchase" a fictitious portfolio of five stocks from a list of
selected stocks. The portfolio is worth $10,000 at the start.
At the end of the first month and at the end of the second month,
prizes are awarded for various levels of achievement. |
When: |
The 2023 Contest
has concluded and is no longer accepting entries for 2023.
STAY TUNED FOR THE 2024
STOCK MARKET CHALLENGE!
