Investing Competition
Beginning March 10th 2008, SFA began a new tradition of hosting an
Investing Competition for the Kansas State Community and eventually the
entire Big 12 Conference in collaboration with Equitrader.com. Whether
you’re a novice trader or a seasoned professional,
this will be an amazing opportunity to learn more about markets and
have the opportunity to win real cash!
There are two levels to the competition. The first is against
fellow K-State students (the awards listed is for this level).
The second level is against other Big 12 Schools. We are going
to be competing against students from Missouri in the “Big 12” level
of the competition. The prizes below are being awarded to K-State
students only.
This trading competition is open to students outside of SFA, so if
you have friends that are interested in competing, please invite
them to do so.
