Junior Achievement of
Central Iowa's Stock Market Challenge raised $90,000, which
will go toward educating students in Central Iowa on how to be
financially responsible. The challenge took place last
Thursday. More than 100 high school juniors and seniors
studying economics were divided into teams of four and given a
list of 26 fictitious stocks and $500,000 in imaginary money.
Teams competed to see who could have the biggest gains. A
group of companies also participated in a corporate Stock
Market Challenge. The event was sponsored by Knapp Properties
Inc.
