Course Investment Project:

Students will participate in a portfolio simulation exercise managing an initial wealth stock of $500,000 over the quarter. The simulation program will be professionally managed by Stock-Trak Portfolio Simulations of Atlanta, GA. Students will join into groups and register an account as an investment team for the five-week period. The price per registered account is $17.95. Each team can invest in any NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ stock (with traded price over $5), a series of government and corporate bonds, and a selection of over 2000 mutual funds. Trades can be submitted via web. Students will receive bi-weekly statements showing account activity, value, and performance versus the S&P 500 stock index, but each team should monitor the position daily. Students can buy on margin and sell stocks short. Details are provided in the Student Registration Materials.
