7. Click Menu in the upper left-hand
corner of any page in the portfolio
to return to the Welcome page.
Check the Team Information box
for your team’s region and
whether they are trading with end-
of-day or real-time pricing.
There are two ways to price stocks in SMG. End-of-Day means this team will get their
stock based on the market price at close of day. Real-Time will mean the team will get
current stock prices.
8. This is the Rankings Page. There are two types of rankings lists:
Regional and Coordinator. Region may include teams based on
grade, geographical region, or a special arrangement with your SMG
Coordinator. Coordinator rankings include all SMG teams.
A team must have entered a valid trade before appearing in the
Rankings.
9. Sample Ranking Report. (The Coordinator Rankings show top 100 teams. Region reports
show all teams.) Ranking reports may be updated daily or weekly, depending on your
division. 2A is the date of this ranking. 2B is the current S&P500 value. 2C is the Total
Equity in Portfolio and 2D is the % above/below the S&P500 Growth. Your coordinator
may have your teams’ ranking based either on Total Equity, or Compared to the S&P500.
(Example: Team AL_8_A117 is performing 6.6427% better than the current S&P500’s
growth rate.)
10. Outside Links directs students to company research and investment
resources outside of the SMG program. Some of the sites listed are
commercial sites that have advertising. You are advised to visit the sites
before introducing them to your students to insure that the content is
appropriate.
11. Portfolios are password protected to keep a team from accessing
another team’s portfolios. Students have the ability to change
their passwords. If a team forgets their password, you may
request it from your SMG Coordinator.
