![]() By Luis Calderon Ultimate Stock Trading Challenge on March 7, 2015. The event was held in much bigger stage this year: Soldier Field. The founder of Magnetar Youth Academy, Alec Litowitz, welcomed us and explained the rules. The first period had begun. We predicted the way the market was going to go and decided what stocks to invest in. The first period lasted thirty minutes and we were shown the school rankings in which we placed 17th. Our two new coaches came. As they took charge of the group conversation, you could tell this period was going to be something completely different. 2nd period had begun. Ahmad Mukdad, Div. 515, said, “The most impressive part for me was the way we handled the pressure during the most important periods.” After 25 minutes, the period ended. The rankings were updated . Hubbard was on top. We were now in command. During intermission, we were fed and had the honor of Mr. Akbar G. Biamila, former NFL player, speak to us. The last round commenced. We noticed the market showed clear signs it had no intentions of going down. After the period ended, Mr. Litowitz revealed that the market indeed had gone down. Another team member, Julian Alatriste, Div. 506, commented, “Although the team thought the market was going up, we were thrown a curveball.” Mr. Biamila announced third place and our moment of glory was upon us. Hubbard High School had placed in the Stock Challenge for the first time in school history.
