Stock Market Simulation (SMS) session

30 May 2023

The MIU Finance Club, led by Dr. Sarah Ezz El Din, organized a Stock Market Simulation (SMS) session from May 21 till May 25, 2023.

The simulation aimed at providing students from all faculties with hands-on experience on how the stock market works. The SMS team first gave an overview of how stock market investment works. The students then played the role of investors and brokers on a virtual software provided by WACC company. The program provides an IPO system that simulates the financial market, including but not limited to, stock market, banks, funds, etc.

The students and staff of the Business Department were thrilled with this insightful experience which provided them with expertise they may need to understand the stock market, even before graduation. This knowledge and skill should give them an edge and make them distinguished among other university graduates.
