Invest Smart
"Invest Smart is another ThinkQuest contest winner (third place in the 1997 competition) created by three high-school students. Be sure to read their individual stories on the Real-Life Experiences link. As with several of the other simulations, your game starts with $100,000. But Invest Smart adds a few realistic features not found in the other games. First, you are charged a $15 or $30 commission on each trade, depending on which brokerage firm you choose. And second, you can borrow additional funds (up to half of your portfolio value) at 8% APR. Invest Smart is an excellent educational tool for both kids and adults."
