During the game, meetings will focus on topics such as dividend investing, the concepts of stocks splitting, 52 week highs and lows, portfolio diversification, placing market orders and limit orders, short selling, mutual funds, bonds, and more!  

The best part about the game is that if you miss a meeting due to your involvement in sports, other clubs, or religious activities, you can still play in the game!  The game can be played from ANY internet device 24/7, at home or in school.  Also, it is an excellent way to bond with a parent or guardian and learn about making investment decisions.
