Stock Market Game Instructions
Your goal is to earn as much as you can by putting your money in various investment options over a 10-year period in the popular stock market game.
The amount of money you have in each investment is represented by a shape. The shape gets bigger the more money is invested in it. To maximize your profit, you will have to transfer funds from pocket money to your various investments and from one investment to another.
To transfer funds, click and drag across a shape. You should see a number appear -- that's how much will be cut from the original shape when you release the mouse button. Release to cut the shape. Then, click on another investment to transfer it there.
Don't leave your money in your pocket - it won't grow! You've got to take advantage of compound interest. Keeping money in your pocket will also leave it more vulnerable to theft.
