7. SUMMARY The Stock Market Game was actually fun. We were surprised. We diversified our portfolios and our companies did very well. They just kept making money! The only bad one was Nordstrom. We chose companies in 6 different industries. I wish we could have had another stock market game this year, but I guess it is summer time. I can’t wait to do The Stock Market Game next year!!!!
