We want to share an update we received from the economics team that we sponsor from Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. Their "Stock Market Game" teams are using MarketClub to help assist in their trades and we've been following their success for the past few months. Their teacher was nice enough to send me this message informing me of the progress his 6 teams have made in their participation with the "The Stock Market Game" (a program of the SIFMA).

Lindsay,

It has been a while since our last correspondence and it is time I got you up to date.

Today I received an email from the teacher who runs the economics club at Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois.

I wanted to share this message with you as the successes and struggles are typical of new traders.

About a month ago, we received a passionate email from an economics teacher at Adlai E. Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Illinois. He informed us that he had created an Economics club at his school to increase financial literacy and show students how technical analysis can interface with their financial future. His club also participates in “The Stock Market Game” (a program of the SIFMA) to compete with other schools, both locally and nationally. After a request to have a discounted MarketClub subscription rate for his students, we decided that MarketClub would go ahead and sponsor his 6 student groups.
