CSGA: Stock Market, Personal Finance, & Business Club: Gr 6-12

Take control of your present and future. Learn how the stock market works by analyzing real time data and trades using a stock market simulator. Create four investment portfolios to compare risk vs return on investment. Understand how an IPO could become the next blue chip company of tomorrow. Track and trade your stocks, mutual funds, and cryptocurrencies to build wealth, not just savings. Use a personal finance simulator to see how improving your education & experience can raise your income, if you can budget your resources and pay your bills! Learn how difficult it is to finance post secondary education while still holding down your simulated job. Finally, if students have interest, they can attempt to build and grow a simulated business in the Wtr/Spr Session. This club is meant to be a full year program, but can be stand alone each session students participate. Participants will have the option to help manage a concessions stand if they are interested in a public facing experience.
