Stock Market Update - Mr. Walsh

Make sure to spend lots of time on the Cash Flow log, the Tally Sheet and the Transaction Log. These have to be PERFECT … last year the top 12 finishers in terms of total assets were disqualified due to various accounting irregularities. Some of the mistakes were simply a result of not double checking their math …others were more involved with “mystery” money, stocks or unaccounted transactions. It doesn’t matter why .. if there is an irregularity of even ten dollars in the final accounting, that team is disqualified immediately and the next highest  brokerage assets will be examined.

The gifted split class, 7/8K, will be the Bear Pit trading crew. Impress on your teams that when they come to the trading desk, there is no room for error. If there is a math mistake in their money or they are confused as to the buying or selling, the Bear Pit crew will simply turn them away. There is no pleading, arguing or disagreement allowed … the teams have a single trip to the trading table each round. If the team makes a mistake, they have lost their chance for that round. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Stock Market Notes - From Mr. Walsh

Students must understand the importance of the commodities … the entire simulation is dependent upon the strength of gold and oil.

Graphing practice should be completed by using the 3 stock examples on page 12 .

The records package that each team will find on their trading table, on the day of the game, will contain the following tools:

Stock Market Tally Sheet
Cash Flow Record
Sector Analysis
Trading Journal
Prices Statistics Page
Graphing 5 Stocks Broken Line template
Sector Analysis Bar Graph
Transaction Log

Each of these tools is modeled in the student workbook … the students should be comfortable with each of these.  THESE ACCOUNTABILITY TOOLS ARE CRITICAL … IF THEY DO NOT MATCH UP THEIR ACCOUNTING WITH THE FINAL TOTALS, THE TEAM IS DISQUALIFIED FROM CONSIDERATION AS WINNERS

A few miscellaneous items to discuss …

- no laptops, IPODS,MP3’s, cell phones   …NO EXCEPTIONS! This is fairness issue … not only are there limited plug –ins but also the fluent use of a spread sheet program would serve as too great an advantage.
- everybody needs a calculator or an adding machine … no cell phone calculators allowed ** if caught with any of the above devices, there will be a team fine of $500 and the device will be given to Mr. Walsh to be held until the next school day  (4 days)
- bonus bucks can , and do, make the difference between winning and losing. Last year’s winning team won by $20.00 … bonus bucks are awarded for best business card design, best desk flange, best office set up, best costumes, best logo, and other “surprise” awards.
- ONE AWAY RULE … there is only 1 member of the brokerage away from the table at any time… $50 penalty enforced every time there is an infraction

RESPONSES

Responses were do yesterday but Mr. Oickle is letting me finish them up today, so just a reminder if you want to type out your responses tonight because it was do yesterday.

Reason #5 - Comment Before May 23

Grand Theft Auto IV, etc.
The stats tell the story here. First week's sales: $500 million. The sales of GTA dwarf movie premieres, CD sales, or, Bauerlein notes, book sales. All that video use, Bauerlein says, has hurt in the classroom, too. Thousands of Massachusetts public school graduates are ending up in remedial reading and writing classes in college, according to a Globe story.

Reason #6 - Comment Before May 23

They don't store the information


"For digital immigrants, people who are 40 years old who spent their college time in the library acquiring information, the Internet is really a miraculous source of knowledge,'' Bauerlein says. "Digital natives, however, go to the Internet not to store knowledge in their minds, but to retrieve material and pass it along. The Internet is just a delivery system.''

Reason #7 - Comment Before May 23

Because their teachers don't tell them so


Or because their parents don't check their bedrooms at midnight to halt the instant messaging..."Kids are drowning in teen stuff delivered 24/7 by the tools, and adult realities can't penetrate," Bauerlein says. Another factor: "It's the era of child-centered classrooms and self-esteem grading.''
