WLC: How the Market Works

This month, we're shaking things up a bit with a fun stock market simulation competition! But first, Logan Gray, Financial Advisor with Abel Financial Services, will walk us through an intro to investing basics and responsible financial planning. (This topic was requested by some of you!) You'll learn how to select/work with a financial advisor, and you'll have the basics down so you're speaking the same language (or at least close to it).

Then, take part in an investment competition! While we know investing isn't a game...we're going to play one anyway. You'll all get an imaginary $25,000 to invest in stocks and mutual funds however you see fit over the next six months. Buy one stock, buy a portfolio of investments, buy/sell daily/weekly/monthly/never again...you choose. Whoever has the most money at the end will win a $100 gift card to Body Ache Escape Wellness Center, courtesy of PACC & WLC.

Join us on the third Friday of the month, for an opportunity to hear from inspiring guest speakers and create some amazing connections!
