CCDS Team Wins State Stock Market Game
Rhree Cincinnati Country Day School seventh graders placed first in the Stock Market Game for middle schools in Ohio. Students who won the Fall Stock Market Game are Lila Lauch, Grace Noack and Sydney Bortz. Another CCDS seventh-grade team won second place in the state. Team members are Max Berghausen, Matthew Castrucci, Emil Hettich and Nick Watts of Hyde Park.
The first-place team will present its Stock Market Game Portfolio to a group of financial investors in May at the University of Cincinnati. They will compete against eight other first-place teams from high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools from the Spring Game, the Fall Game and the All-Year Game to win a trip to New York City.
All seventh- and eighth-graders at CCDS played the Stock Market Game, which is 10 weeks long. Each team of three to four students gets $100,000 in virtual money to invest in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds from the NYSE and NASDAQ. They must invest in a minimum of four different stocks, and may buy, sell or short their stocks. No more than $30,000 can be spent on any one stock without incurring financial penalties. Whichever team has made the most money at the end of 10 weeks, wins the game.
Ten CCDS Stock Market Game teams finished in the top 10 for the Region in The Fall Stock Market Game.
