Investment Challenge

Each semester the Student Investment Club holds the largest online investment competition at the University of Florida, with over 130 individuals competing during the Spring 2008 semester.

The competition takes place at Investopedia. You must be a dues-paying member to enter. There are two private competitions, one for Advanced investors and one for Beginner investors. Individuals start out with $100,000 virtual cash to invest in a realistic market environment. Cash prizes will be awarded to individuals with the highest total returns.
