Bourstad Stock Market Contest

I participated in the Bourstad stock market simulation contest this year. I knew about the website because one of my teachers had showed it to us in high school, but I didn't really know much about the stock market until I participated in the contest this year. M. Dubé organized the contest this year, so he sent us short challenges every week and a video where he explained the different indicators of growth or loss. I feel like I learned a lot, and it was fun to have all this fake money that I could invest with no consequences, so I could see how everything worked. At the beginning I was very conservative with my investments but then near the end of the contest I realized that I might as well invest more since it wasn't real anyways. In the end, I finished in 3rd place for our school, which I am really surprised by! Overall, it was a really interesting experience and I feel like I learned a lot.
