Participants in the SIFMA Foundation Stock Market Game develop and manage an investment portfolio. The Stock Market Game is conducted via the Internet and allows DECA members to test their skills against other DECA members in an online competition. Each participating team manages all aspects of the portfolio including stock selection, buying and selling. The goal of the competition is to increase the value of the beginning portfolio.
During the course of the Stock Market Game, participants will:
- develop investment strategies based on expectations of growth, diversification and stability
- attempt to avoid the pitfalls of market decline, mergers and overextension
The Stock Market Game will take place during September – December. This will be the only qualifiying event. Qualifiers from the online competition will go on to compete in the International Career Development Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah April 28 – May 1, 2012.
