Montgomery Academy Economics Students
Have Success in Alabama Stock Market Game
The Alabama Stock Market Game (SMG) is an exciting 10-week,
online trading experience sponsored by the Alabama Council on
Economic Education (ACEE). Students begin with $100,000 and may
purchase stocks, bonds, and mutual funds and make any number of
trades with their available funds. The teams with the most valuable
portfolios at the end of the 10 weeks win their division. Montgomery
Academy students made up half of the top ten winners in the South
Alabama region! Second place: Hunter Rives, Third place: Anderson
Crane, Fourth place: Bennett Griffin, Seventh place: Tucker Ayers,
Ninth place: Lee Sahlie. They are all economics students in Dr. Scott
Morris’ class.
The major purpose of the Alabama Council on Economic Education
is to promote a better understanding of the American economy and
its relationship to international, national, state and local economic
issues. The activities and programs of ACEE are to be directed toward
objective, comprehensive and balanced economic and educational
programs.
In the promotion of economic understanding, financial literacy
and entrepreneurship, ACEE serves as a resource for schools and
teacher training throughout Alabama as well as an advocate for
economic education and financial literacy. Through the development
of partnerships among all educational institutions and systems,
professional organizations of teachers and school administrators,
ACEE has the purpose of promoting greater understanding of the
principles, practices and values of America’s free enterprise heritage
and economic system through teacher education.
