The School Buzz: D-11 middle schoolers sweep CO stock market competition
West Middle School students are showing off their investment skills right now. Several of its students swept the top three spots in a state-wide stock market competition last month.
The students competed against 45 other teams throughout Colorado in a simulation; they were given "$100,000" to invest in at least three stocks, with no one stock consisting of more than 30 percent of their portfolio, over a course of 10 weeks. The simulation was put on by the SIMFA Foundation.
First-place went to 8th graders Torrin Wetherby, Patrick Leonard-Brown and Malachi Redfern. Second-place went to 6th graders Michael Straw and Jacob Brosseau. Third-place went to 6th grader Tennessee Pekari.
