Fall 2011 Stock competition

This is a free competition open to University System of Maryland Students, Faculty, Staff and to the Alumni of the Honors College. The simulation is modeled after the one used in Dr. Wish’s highly popular HONORS seminar on the stock market. Registration is open between September 9 and October 9.

Trading begins on October 3 and ends December 2, 2011. Space is limited, so be sure to register early. SOME RULES HAVE CHANGED FROM THE SPRING 2011 CONTEST. Please review both the trading rules and the contest specific Prizes and Prize Eligibility before registering for the challenge. 

The University of Maryland Stock Market Challenge gratefully acknowledges the Davis Foundation for their generous donation of the challenge awards.
