     Three hundred and thirteen teams, involving 1,374 students, from 42 schools, participated in the Stock Market Game in Kentucky.  Over a period of 10 weeks, teams of students researched companies, made investment decisions, and built their portfolios, investing $100,000 in imaginary money in stocks on the NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ. At the end of the competition, teams are ranked on equity in portfolio. Teachers were provided with educational resources and lessons to teach students about investing, capital formation, the stock market, and the economy. KCEE also offers a Take Stock in Kentucky investment education program in which 310 teams of 1,667 students at 50 schools participated.
