Stock Market Game

Attention business and economics teachers!

We are pleased to announce that the School of Business & Economics has upgraded to a new portfolio simulation software that will facilitate our Stock Market Competition for the 2009/2010 academic year.

This year's game is again powered by a world-class software platform developed by StockTrak, a subsidiary of Neutron Enterprises (NTRN–OTCB) and world leader in portfolio simulations. Used by more than 200,000 students each year at schools such as Harvard, Stanford, the London School of Economics and McGill University, this global platform is designed to be incorporated into undergraduate finance, economics and business courses. StockTrak has partnered with more than 900 professors and over 50,000 university majors use StockTrak in their studies. The company also facilitates The National Stock Market Simulation classroom activity played by teams of students (150,000) from across the United States of America.

So, it is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to participate in our 2009/2010 Stock Market Game powered by StockTrak. We are confident that our choice ensures that your students will have an exceptional and unhindered experience while playing the “Game” as they learn about capital markets.
