Buying a stock at its lowest point in 14 years is one way to get ahead in the Stock Market Game. That's what pushed Springboro's Milbar to the top of the high school division in the competition's fourth week.
The students in Rick Creager's Intro to Business class bought Duke Energy Corp. (DUK) on the day it had its lowest close since 1989.
Gains in energy, specifically natural gas supplier El Paso Corp. (EP), also gave Northwest's Juan & Josh the week's biggest move, from 273rd to seventh place.
Our Lady of Visitation's team 1057 jumped from 169th to first place in the middle/elementary school division, mostly on last week's gains in Ross Stores Inc. (ROST) and Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (ETH).
Michael Church, meanwhile, flew into the lead of the adult division, thanks to InterDigital Communications Corp. (IDCC). Or more accurately, thanks to Ericsson AB agreeing to pay $34 million to the maker of wireless chips to settle a patent infringement lawsuit.
