Programs > The Stock Market Game™

To recognize the research abilities of students, The Stock Market Game offers an essay competition, as well as the ever popular Portfolio Equity Competition.

The Portfolio Equity Competition rewards students for their savvy investments. Students may trade stocks as often as they like in their own portfolio. The rankings list can be found on The Stock Market Game website and is updated weekly. At the end of each session, BestPrep will honor the top 3 teams in each division with prizes.

The InvestWrite Essay Competition is a national essay writing competition that helps students in grades 4-12 bridge classroom learning and potential real-world investment decisions. Students are provided a topic and an investment scenario, which requires them to assess, research, and formulate possible solutions based on their own findings, logic and ideas. InvestWrite is a teacher-designed program, which reinforces students' newfound knowledge and sharpens their critical thinking skills. A student from Minnesota won the first InvestWrite competion during the spring 2004 Stock Market Game session.
