Teen Investors Club: Weekly Market Watch and Stock Research

Class opens with a five-minute market recap. One or two members then present a company they researched, covering what it sells, how it makes money and one risk. The group votes on changes to a shared virtual portfolio and records the reasons, so later they can check whether their thinking held up.

How classes work

The club meets every week for 55 minutes with up to 8 learners. There is no last class: each meeting stands on its own, so learners can join in any week and stay as long as they like.

Example weekly themes

  Market Recap and Portfolio Setup – Agree the club rules and build the starting virtual portfolio.
