Game offers market experience
By Frank Shaw
Of th* Emaraki
A finance club project that
sets up a securities market
based on the NBA basketball
playoffs could be the chance
to get some experience in the
marketplace without worrying
about getting burned.
For a nominal charge of
$5.50, each entrant will receive
a portfolio with one card for
each playoff team. At the end
of the playoffs, each ticket of
the winning team will be
redeemable for $5.
Entrants need not be
business majors or basketball
buffs.
Here's how it works.
Say you get your portfolio
and decide the Blazers are go
ing to take it ail. You buy, steal
or borrow all the Blazer
coupons you can find, trading
away all your other tickets in
the process. If the Blazers win,
you can redeem each ticket for
$5, making a hefty profit in the
process.
You hope.
The idea is the brainchild of
Good friends will be there
come hell or high water.
Your friends didn’t know a
scrum from a dropkick. And they
obviously didn’t know enough to
get out of the rain. But they did
know how much this rugby game
meant to you. So they hung in
there -downpour and ail.
Now that
the games over,
make your best
move of the day.
Ldwenbrau for _
everybody.
Lowenbrau. Here’s to good friends.

a group of four students: Bill
McNamara, Gordon Murdock,
Tom Boyle and Jim Lange.
Murdock originally got the
idea from a market simulation
Stanford University conducted
during the 1980 presidential
primary.
Some people are curious
and afraid of the stock market,
Murdock says. The simulation
gives students a chance to get
first-hand experience without
losing their shirt.
The group expects to sell
250 to 500 portfolios, at a rate
of two to three per person.
The team’s prices will be
linked to how well they do in
the first games, Murdock says.
As soon as a team is
eliminated, its tickets will
have no value in the
marketplace, while the price of
other tickets will increase.
Students are encouraged to
seek out information that
could affect a team’s
performance.
Murdock suggests reading
the sports page and watching
for injuries to key players.
Along with providing the
portfolio, the Finance Club
will arrange for meeting times
when participants can barter
for tickets and will provide
listings of current ticket
prices.
The portfolios will be
available Friday at 12:30 p.m.
in the Gilbert Hall breezeway.
