Click any of the following student links to read the essays they wrote for the fall 2006 national essay competion called InvestWrite. This competition is open to students participating in the Stock Market Game and sponsored by the Foundation for Investor Education. The Stock Market Game, more commonly referred to as SMG, is played by students as part of their history classes with Ms. Russac and Mr. Hall. For the InvestWrite competition, students were asked to write an essay in response to a specific scenario.
Fall 2007 Question:
Choose two funds that you think are the best ones for the savings you're setting aside for college. Write a review of the funds as if you were reviewing two movies. Explain the funds differences and similarities; what it is you like about each fund, and why each one should be included in your investment portfolio.

Fall 2006 Question:
You’re the Chief Executive Officer of a major, privately held corporation that makes pencil erasers that are made to look like celebrities from the movies. Your business is wildly successful, especially your Pirates of the Caribbean/Johnny Depp line, and you need to build a new plant, but you don’t have the money. Should you take your company public and raise money in the stock market or look for the money in the private sector by finding an investor or through a loan? Choose to go public or stay private and give us your reasons why.
