In building a portfolio, students research and evaluate stocks, and make decisions based on what they have learned. Teams trade common stocks and mutual funds from the NYSE, Nasdaq, and AMEX exchanges; earn interest on cash balances; pay interest if buying on margin and pay a commission on all trades. To determine why certain stocks perform the way they do, or why the broader market has moved up or down, they need to understand how the economy works, and to calculate their returns they need to do the math.
