 Young Lighthouse Program Students First in Minnesota Stock Market Game
Jan. 15, 2010
Spring Lake Park, MN
Though they met occasionally to check their progress, after making their purchases, the team watched their “company” rise to success. "Our strategy was to buy our stocks and then just leave them alone," said Charles Baker. The strategy worked. By early December, they had reached second place in the Stock Market Game. Four weeks later, they moved into first place with a total of $109,677.83, for a profit of $9,677.83.
An award ceremony for the team will be held January 20 at The Carlson School of Management on the University of Minnesota Campus.
