The Stock Market Game – Local Rules (Georgia)

Your Local Rules for the Stock Market Game

Remember that these rules must be adhered to before a team which consists of no more than five (5) students, can be declared a winner in the Georgia Stock Market Game. Thank you. The ``30% Maximum Equity Rule`` This rule means that a team may not spend/invest more than 30% of their total buying power in any one company or fund. So, in the initial purchase, if the team has $100,000, they can only purchase $30,000 of a given stock such as Home Depot. To spend their entire $100,000 the first day of the game, they would have to buy at least 4 different stocks. The Stock Market Game system will automatically enforce this rule to encourage diversity in a team portfolio. 

COMPETITION RULES: These rules will be enforced when recognizing state, congressional district, and school district winners. 1. A first place winner is the team that finishes first in their congressional district or school district, with a PROFIT on their initial $100,000. 2.
