Traders in the Making

Fifth Year Business Inspire pupils have been exploring the world of the stock exchange this half term. They have come away with an understanding of what stocks and shares are, how markets work, the skills required in picking the right stock and the pitfalls that come with market crashes. When trading their own virtual £100,000, our budding investors had a very tough introduction to the risks and rewards associated with share trading and have had to navigate continuing volatility in the FTSE 100. A particular well done to Fenton & Reuben who both managed to net positive returns at a time when few others could (including Mr Moore!).
