Participants develop skills in math, language arts, research and critical thinking, while building and maintaining a stock portfolio. SMG\u2122 is used in grades 4-12, college courses, and by those who seek to learn more about investing. Since 1977, over 8 million students have participated in this national program.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can make all your transactions using a personal computer linked to the Internet. Second, you can access research materials about companies through the SMG\u2122 home page. You can also tap into free research reports from Standard and Poor\u2019s and EDGAR, the Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s database. Third, you can check stock prices and monitor any changes in your portfolios value throughout the trading day. Computers make the Game more educational, interesting and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>How Does SMG\u2122 Work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAfter registering, you or your team have an \u201caccount\u201d with a hypothetical $100,000 to invest in common stocks listed on the New York and American Stock Exchanges, and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The home page, for example, provides you with recent articles to read about a stock you plan to buy, sell or hold. Through the Internet, you could also visit the websites of companies to read their annual reports and press releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDuring the ten-week simulation each fall and spring, you can trade stocks via personal computer. You simply type in a stock\u2019s ticker symbol and the transaction you want to make (buy, sell, short-cover, or short- sell). The value of your trades is then calculated using share prices at the close of the participating stock markets. Your portfolio is updated daily to tell you the value of your current holdings, brokerage commissions, return on investment, team or individual ranking, and other information.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou may qualify to win plaques, certificates and other awards based on the success of your investment management strategy at the end of the ten-week session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>How Do I Sign Up?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTeachers who want to bring the SMG\u2122 to their classrooms can access the SMG\u2122 homepage on the Internet at https:\/\/www.stockmarketgame.org<\/a> Click on the state where you live to see how your school can participate.
