Show me the money： 5th-graders pick winning stocks／給我錢：小五生選中獲利股

◎張沛元

If your stock portfolio isn’t performing as well as you’d like, maybe you could hand it over to these fifth-graders. Four students at Tullar Elementary School in Neenah won the recent Wisconsin Stock Market Game, turning $100,000 of hypothetical money into more than $203,000 in 10 weeks.

倘若你的股票投資組合表現不如所願，也許你可以將之交給這些小五生。尼亞的杜勒小學4名學生日前在威斯康辛股市比賽中勝出，10週內將假設的一筆10萬美元，變成超過20萬3千美元。

The winning team of Annie Czech, Bailey Morton, Jen Sagehorn and Sam Weiler invested exclusively in 15 financial stocks, of which 13 proved profitable.

由安妮．切克、貝利．墨頓、詹．賽吉弘與山姆．魏勒所組成的獲勝隊伍，全部投資在15檔金融股，其中13檔證明獲利。

"I was really excited," Annie said. "I wanted to scream."

「我真的好興奮」，安妮說。「我想尖叫。」

"I am really pleased," Tim Hopfensperger, a teacher at the school and adviser to the young investors, said. "I am waiting to see what they will do in the future. A number of them will get involved in the financial industry."

「我感到相當欣慰」，該校教師與這些年輕投資人的顧問提姆．霍芬史波格說。「我對他們未來會怎麼做拭目以待。他們許多人將會涉足金融業。」
