Local students were recognized for their expertise and knowledge of the stock market in the 2010-2011 Stock Market Game conducted by The Honesdale National Bank Center for Economic Education at The University of Scranton.
The Stock Market Game is a 10-week simulation during which students from three grade categories (4-6, 7-8, 9-12) invest an imaginary $100,000 by buying stocks listed on the major securities exchanges. Students who compete in the game learn how financial markets operate and hone their mathematics and decision making skills. Separate ten-week competitions are held in the fall and spring. Team rankings are based on final portfolio values. The University of Scranton hosts one of the Pennsylvania Centers for Economic Education, each of which conducts its own Stock Market Game competition.
A team from Carbondale Area High School participated in the Newspaper Challenge sponsored by the Honesdale National Bank in cooperation with The Wayne Independent.
The Stock Market Game of Pennsylvania is an EconomicsAmerica program of EconomicsPennsylvania, the state-wide affiliate of the regional centers.
