Talbot County – Easton Regional Champs
Two teams of students from Easton Middle School in Talbot County have won the state and regional division championships of the Fall 2023 Maryland Stock Market Game™, organized by the Maryland Council on Economic Education (MCEE).
In the Stock Market Game™, student teams create and manage a simulated, virtual investment portfolio starting with $100,000. Led by their teacher, students strategically manage their portfolios over a ten-week period, consistently buying and selling stocks, bonds, and mutual funds in an effort to increase their portfolio return. The winning teams achieved the highest portfolio returns among student teams in their age group.
More than 1,100 student teams from schools throughout Maryland competed in the Fall Stock Market Game™, which ended its 10-week competition in December 2023.
The Stock Market Game competition gives students real-world experience in investing, challenging them to make decisions about the direction of markets, buying or selling stocks, and completing transactions online. With real-time portfolio statement updates, teams are able to see how their team ranks compared to others, as well as the current value of their stocks.
The Maryland Council on Economic Education offers the Stock Market Game™ to students and teachers throughout Maryland each fall and spring to provide education about stock markets, the American economic system and the global economy. Participants develop skills in math, language arts, research and critical thinking. All winners at the state and regional levels will be celebrated at an awards ceremony in May 2024 at Towson University.
