Learning about the Stock Market

At my high school, we had a specific class called Personal Finance.  During the semester we learned a lot about handling our money, buying houses, and keeping a budget.  We also little about the stock market.  We were able to track the stock market for a few months while playing The Stock Market Game.  During this time we were given 100,000 dollars to work with.  It wasn’t real money, but it worked like it so we could learn the ins and outs of trading in the stock market.  You also compete world wide with students from all over.   You have to try and beat them with the most amount of revenue. You can use many different sites to follow stocks such as finance.yahoo.com. Here is just a short video about some 6th and 7th grade students who play the stock market game as well and they have fun with it too!
