Speculation

Speculation is the simple fast moving stock market game that embraces the quick fluctuations in price typical of the market of speculative securities. The object of the game is for each player to increase his beginning net worth of $12,000 by "buying low" and "selling high" as prices of individual securities rise and fall on the Market Board. The wooden market board is used to track the price of each stock (eight areas are Advertising, Aircraft, Automobile, Cosmetics, Electronics, Mining, Paper & Petroleum). Users keep track of game play on their Security Record sheets. Winner is determined by calculating each individual's net worth consisting of both cash and the current market value of the securities they hold.
