This is the no-device version of ClassroomStreet. The teacher is the market. Every class day the teacher reads the dispatch and posts the seven prices on the board. You update your ledger, make your trades on paper, and total your fortune. Your ledger is your proof; the Investor Report is written from it.

The rules.

  • You start with AQ25,000 cash and no units.
  • Whole units only. Cash may never go below zero.
  • A buy: cash goes down by units times price. Units go up.
  • A sell: cash goes up by units times price. Units go down. You cannot sell units you do not hold.
  • Every trade goes in the trade log, in order, the moment you make it.
  • At the end of every day, fill in the daily fortune table: cash, plus the value of every venture you hold (units times today's price), equals total fortune.
  • The teacher initials the day's total.
