  1. The Stock Market Game™ Winning Team members: Yanin Cano, Nathaly Franco, and Jorge Hernandez Teacher: Andrew Johnson Chicago Academy High School

  2. First Place!

  3. How We Chose The Stocks • We began with companies we knew about such as Apple and Walmart. • We looked for companies with a high P/E ratio and Beta. • We also risked investments in companies we didn’t know about.

  4. Best Stock Investment • The most successful stock was Kyocera • We gained $1,185.87 • One of the reasons we chose Kyocera was because it announced a new SIGE system. • The system helps improves stability and extends product life when performing small-diameter internal grooving. • Also the P/E ratio was 13.34 which showed how the companies expectations are high.

  5. Worst Stock Investment • JP Morgan was the worst stock investment we made. • We lost $865.05. • Although JP Morgan had a high P/E ratio of 13.49 the company’s expectations weren’t right.

  6. Other Investments • Walmart gained $883.92. • Apple also gained $93.31. • Monster Worldwide lost $47.26.

  7. Account Summary • Overall our portfolio increased by 3.031%. • Our cash balance ended up to be $59,148.81.

  8. What we learned….. • We learned that we had to take chances with the market. • We also learned that since our economy is so bad right now that we should invest conservatively. • The stock market is risky so we learned to make sure to read headlines and other key statistics such as the beta and P/E ratio before investing.

  9. Credits • A special thanks to our Teacher Mr. Johnson for giving us very helpful information on how to choose stocks and for the constant motivation given. • We thank other program sponsors including: • Chicago Board Options Exchange • HSBC North America • Cabrera Capital Markets, LLC • Chicago Tribune News in Education • Illinois Council on Economic Education
