OVERVIEW
The Junior Achievement (JA) Investor Challenge is an annual event based on the principles of investing and trading.  To summarize the event, we use a state-of-the-art computer program, wireless technology and realistic trading screens, to simulate a fast-paced stock market environment. Teams of 4 will be given $500,000 in “virtual” money to purchase shares in a variety of fictitious companies.   
Giant screens in the room will project team standings and changing stock values.  Teams can receive additional capital by completing a lesson in class and bringing their completed form to the event. Teams will receive stock tips on day 20 and day 45.  This program emulates a 60-day trading period in less then two hours, with nearly 80 seconds of trading for each day.  Each team’s objective is to create the highest net-worth by the end of day sixty. The winning team will receive the highly coveted “JA Investor Challenge” trophy.
