Briarwood eighth in investment contest A team of four Briarwood Elementary School students took eighth place in the fall 2006 statewide Take Stock in Kentucky investment competition. More than 300 teams from across the state competed in the fall Take Stock in Kentucky competition in which teams of students research Kentucky companies, make investment decisions and create their portfolios, investing $100,000 in imaginary money in stocks over a 10week period. Teams are ranked on the equity in their portfolios. The Briarwood team, including Alexander Smith, Billy Adams, Josh Dyer and Dane Shindell, finished the 10-week competition with a portfolio worth $105,537.30. State winner Farley Elementary School had a portfolio valued at $127,949.05 after 10 weeks. The Briarwood team, advised by Briarwood curriculum coordinator Darlene Porter, was the only school in the Warren County area to finish in the top 10. Sponsored by Hilliard Lyons, Take Stock in Kentucky - a spinoff of the national [Stock Market Game] simulation - requires students to enroll in teams and manage a simulated investment portfolio for 10 weeks. The [Stock Market Game] lasts 15 weeks.
