Three giant screens, frenzied traders, the latest in technology and 60 days of simulated trading condensed into 80 minutes. JA Stock Market Challenge, a corporate event held in the evening, is fun at its most competitive. For more information, click here or contact Shawna Robbins in Denver at JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING or (303) 260-6286 or Maryann Fillingim in Fort Collins at JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING or (970) 490-1035.

How it works:

More than 40 teams of eight compete to grow their "mock" stock portfolio to the highest overall net worth.

Teams are issued $500,000 in mock stock to invest in 26 fictitious companies.

Each trading day lasts eighty seconds — two months of trading are condensed into one exciting evening.

Onsite traders with PDAs make buying and selling instantaneous. The trading is fast, furious and fun!

Periodic news releases and "hot tips" reflect fictitious world events and industry developments, causing stock prices to fluctuate.

Participants must be on their toes, constantly reacting to the market's ups and downs.

Proceeds from the JA Stock Market Challenge corporate event allow 1,000 local high school students to participate in the student version of this event. Visit the High School page or contact Nikki Shull at JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING for more information.
