High School Investment Club
Hey everyone, I'm currently in high school (I know, not many of us on this forum). I want to go into IB or AM when I get older, and I'm trying to do what I can now. Right now, I'm trying to start a virtual investment club at my high school. This will obviously not be a relevant achievement when I'm trying to get a job, but the club can help me get into a good business school. Does anyone have any tips for me? Any specific aspect of a high school investment club that might sound good that I should highlight?
First, most people would clown you for this post. I won’t, I was there too.
I ran a high school investment club (in college now) at a well known high school and this is the way we ran it. We ran a stock market simulation game on market watch.com, and the winner was given 500$. The top performer and worst performer of the week would also have to give presentations. Most of our meeting would then be either overviews on investing strategy or other student taught lessons. (Dividend yield, accounting basics, corporate structure). We also were very selective in our leadership-most of our presidents/VPs has parents that were at least partner at 10B + AUM funds, and so these parents would each give one guest lecture a year. Finally we would end off our meetings with an episode of shark tank- just to keep it casual.
Lmao CSUS right? Anyway, I’d also read books and the news everyday-that’s the best way to prepare other than getting into a T20 school (or hopefully even better).
Books-
A random walk down wallstreet Misbehaving Naked economics Etc
Noted. I just ordered those books on Amazon and I'll read them later. Thanks! What news outlets do you follow?
thanks that’s a lot of good info I’ll keep it in mind
good idea. do you go to a good HS / private school / or live in a wealthy town that’s a public school? my HS is doing this on steroids. involve alumni / community. have speakers come in. we are doing an externship program with qualified individuals / rising seniors. and we have 12 Bloomberg’s (waste of $$ but look cool). involve the macroeconomics class students. I’m working w them on ways to enhance the program other ways. feel free to speak offline w me about it.
No to both questions. I would love to discuss this further with you. I’m new to this forum, is there some messaging feature on here for private messaging?
I’m new too. I think it only works on a computer, not on phone for private message. do that, send me your email, and we can email from there, etc. I’ll give you some ideas and options.
