Are you a stock market guru? If you THINK you are, maybe you want to think twice after reading this.

While I was browsing online on the community newspaper website, I read a very interesting article that deserves some exposure. And for the children that were involved, they deserve a lot of credibility. Now seeing how this blog can be seen by anyone, I am going to keep their names under wraps (even if the newspaper has their names on the website.)

Here is the article from the website:

Before making your next investment decision, you might want to consult with West Seaford Elementary students Young Lady 1, Young Man 1, Young Lady 2 and Young Man 2. Their on-line portfolio grew $9,000 from October to December. Their portfolio is, of course, hypothetical. The University of Delaware twice a year holds The Stock Market Game for all of Delaware. Every public or private school in the state is eligible for participation. High school, middle school and elementary school students from schools all over Delaware form teams and are given a hypothetical $100,000 with which to invest in the real stock market. The students manage the portfolio through The Stock Market Game’s website.

The Stock Market game is held in every state and is available worldwide. The game was created by the Foundation for Investor Education, a nonprofit that provides educational re sources for investors of all ages. The University of Delaware has been making the program available to educators in the state for over 20 years. Eighty Five teams participated in Delaware this year and the group from West Seaford won first place. “They invested very conservatively,” said Renee Clark, the student’s SPARK teacher who supervises the game at West Seaford.

Now I’m no stock market expert but I know enough to say that with results like that, maybe kids are becoming brighter young people and maybe the financial world will see a more stable future. So if I could, I would say congrats to those 4 young students who managed to make that much money in such a timespan in the stock market.

Maybe I’ll have to hire them to be my personal financial advisors :)
