Stock Market Game Week in Review
TheStreet.com - 4 hours ago
The Stock Market Game is a curriculum-based teaching tool that allows students to invest a hypothetical $100000 online stock portfolio to learn about long-term saving and investing.

I hope it teaches them that long term investing will be wiped out by government manipulation and inflation, and that all the money is made by paying off politicians for bailouts and law changes.

I hope it teaches them that long term investing will be wiped out by government manipulation and inflation, and that all the money is made by paying off politicians for bailouts and law changes.

That's a really good idea for a timely board game. Something like monopoly, but the goal is to become "too big too fail". In fact, maybe politicians could replace the properties of monopoly, and the players would vie to buy politicians to add to their portfolio.

Of course, the title would have to be BAILOUT.
