The Urban Financial Services Coalition Omaha Chapter, Inc.
(UFSCOC) and The Urban Financial Services Coalition Omaha Foundation, Inc.
(UFSCOF) in partnership with local high schools offer the Wall Street Whiz Stock
Market Simulation Program. The program is an innovative and interactive stock
market simulation of the "Crash of 1929.” The Simulation captures the period
from April 1, 1929 to March 31, 1930, and reviews the history of Wall Street,
the elementary beginnings of the stock market investing, basic modern investment
principals and concepts, economic indicators, institutions and functions of
government. In the end, students will understand the "Pulse of the Market" and
the climate in which all businesses operate. Our local program currently allows
a select group of students from local high schools to enhance their basic
knowledge of the stock market and related principles while competing for mutual
fund account prizes.
