Welcome to Champion Investor!
The idea of this game is to make money by investing in the stock market. It’s also a fun, risk free, way to learn about investing.
This reason I set this game up, is because this is exactly how I learned to invest.
Many years ago, when I was 16 years old, my A levels economics teacher decided to liven up the lesson by starting a fantasy stocks and shares competition.
From that day I was hooked and I’ve been passionate about investing ever since. So hopefully you will catch a bit of this passion too.
Here’s the Rules!
When you register & login, you will be given £100,000 in cash to invest (not real money but it will feel like it).
You can hold a maximum of 5 companies in your portfolio, at any one time.
Pick your investments wisely because, once you invest in a company, you CANNOT SELL IT FOR 28 DAYS. This is to encourage you to do some research first and avoid day trading (70% of investors who day trade lose money).
You don’t have to invest in 5. You can invest your money in 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 company if you want (but putting all your money in one company might be volatile and a little too risky).
You cannot acquire more than 5% of a single company.
The idea is it make a positive return on your investments and who knows if you do really well, you may get on the leaderboard or even become the Champion Investor!
Good luck!
