ADMINISTRATION

he Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) in its

effort to facilitate creative, innovative and

fun ways to introduce the elements of the

stock market trading to all ages, in 2008

introduced and launched a Virtual Stock Market

Trading Game (SMG). The JSE Stock Market

Game is a simulation game that aids in better

understanding the stock market and how it

works.

Students

The Stock Market Game for High Schools is th th aimed at students in 4 to 6 forms. It is

designed to strengthen students' critical

thinking skills while building confidence and

self-esteem. Most importantly, the stock

market game will instil an understanding of the

need to save and invest at an early age and

prepare students leaving high school with the

basic knowledge of how to buy and sell shares.

The JSE also facilitate the Young Investor Game

for All Media Group.

Teachers

This new format of the Game was recently

developed to generate interest among high

school teachers on how to create wealth

through the buying and selling of shares on the

market. The SMG has shown potential in

motivating teachers to better plan for their

future and to engage in financial planning,

research, and use of investment products and

services.
