Working in teams, students invest a “virtual” £100,000 in shares and use their skill and judgement to trade their portfolios using real data supplied by Bloomberg and FTSE (just like real traders). Entrants are given extra tuition to learn about stock market theory so this is a great opportunity to learn something new (and it also looks good on your UCAS application). NULC students have in the past reached the national finals (top 8 out of more than 800 entries) so why not have a go. You never know, you could win the top prize which is an all expenses paid trip to New York.
If you are interested contact lecturer Richard Simpson but be quick, the competition starts on the 5th November! For further information visit http://www.studentinvestor.org
