Students compete in stock market game

Port Royal Mayor Samuel Murray is challenging Beaufort County School District students in grades four through 12 to build the best stock market portfolios in the Mayor's Blue Chip Investors Program.

Underwritten by a grant from AT&T and coordinated by SC Economics, the free program is a spin-off of the popular statewide competition, the S.C. Stock Market Game. In the competition, students invest a hypothetical $100,000 over ten weeks.

At the local level, student teams will compete for dinner with Murray and $50 in cash.
