Stock Market Challenge Helen Hall Marion Storm Hazel Wagner
How the game works Aim: to maximise the value of investments in shares and dollars during five days of trading. • Each team of two or three has £50,000 to invest. • Share prices and the dollar’s exchange rate are largely determined by information on the news website and in the radio and TV news bulletins. • Prices also respond to the volume of trading in the game.
Roles in the game • Finance manager – responsible for the team’s finances –tracks the total value of the team’s portfolio • Investment analyst – responsible for tracking the team’s investments • Media analyst – reads the news website, listens to the TV and radio news bulletins – informs team on how latest information may affect prices
Poster presentation • Present team poster • Demonstrate use of excel – graphs • Include individual reflection • Discuss poster / strategy • Assess posters of other teams
“[T]here are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know. ” Former United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
Known knowns • Numeracy • Team working • Decision making / critical thinking/ problem solving • Communication
Unknown unknowns • Team working • Timing • Confidence building • Dealing with uncertainty • Sense of occasion • Students feedback
Reflection • Improve the focus of the posters • More preparatory work • Use on other modules Any questions ?
