Rifle High School student wins CO Stock Market Game Award
In Kelly Lynn’s IB Business and Management class at Rifle High School, junior Marquis Rios has made quite the accomplishment. He is the winner of the year-long Colorado Stock Market Game, an achievement fitting for not only his studies but his interests.
Each game participant starts off with $100,000 and uses the actual stock market to decide how to spend their simulated money, which is somewhat similar to using an investing app. The Stock Market Game is a program of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, which educates youth on the stock market and advocates for effective and efficient capital markets.
