Creek students are big winners in the market

Maybe your next

stock tip should come from students at Sandy Creek High

School.

Students at

the school won this year's Georgia Council on Economic

Education's Stock Market Game in the county's Internet

version of the competition.

After

starting with a hypothetical investment of $100,000, the

team finished with a portfolio worth $147,962.

Student

teams competed in two stock market game categories: paper

and Internet. Students playing the paper version mailed

in their trades each week, while students playing the

Internet version traded online.

Every

spring and fall, more than 40,000 students from

elementary to high school, public and private, compete in

Georgia's stock market game, which is the second largest

in the nation. Over a half million Georgia students have

completed in the game since 1980.

Winning

teams were honored at a luncheon May 16.
