Teams of five participants will compete in an investment challenge in a simulated Irish Stock Exchange. Each team will receive one million Stock Exchange euro notes to invest as they wish.

The day begins with each team being given a brief on the twenty shares being traded. With this information they can plan a strategy of investment. Just before the exchange opens for trading the morning newspaper is delivered to each team. The information in the paper will provide critical information on the economy which should guide the investment.

The exchange opens, the shares can then be traded. For half an hour shares can be bought and sold. The share price will change constantly on most shares. The shares will be displayed on a big screen and changed electronically.

During the trading the TV news will be aired, this will give further, up to date information and may contain some catastrophe’s or great news for some of the shares this may create a panic to buy or sell.

Trading then closes and the teams have time to take stock of their position and plan their next moves.

Three sessions of trading will take place throughout the day representing a day each of trading, three newspaper and three TV news broadcasts will be presented to the teams.

The team with the most profit at the end of the days trading will be the winners of the Stock Exchange investment challenge.
