During
this quarter, the Global Economics Team has started a portfolio competition
between the members of the team. The
object was simple: each person is allotted $50,000 dollars of stocks via Yahoo
Finance (Simulation Money) that would allow the person to create a portfolio
shadow the stock market. As we progress
through the year, certain markers will allow for rewards for the person with
the highest valued portfolio at the time.
As of right now, all 5 of the members of GET have put together their
portfolio. Here is a look at the
starting values of each portfolio:
Evan Amano
Elizabeth Hope
Jon Weiland
Brett Boran
*Evan
Amano and Brett Boran’s Portfolios were established on February 12, 2012, and
the remaining set their portfolios on February 19, 2012.
I hope
all of our viewers of the blog enjoy the updates that we will be giving
relating to why we have chosen specific stocks, and background to what is going
on with our individual portfolios.
