In addition, we provide a toll-free phone number if your students have questions about their account or
any other issues. This number allows the professors to concentrate on concepts and leaves the Stock-Trak
customer service to answer all trivial questions about ticker symbols, dividends, splits, etc. Each year
we strive to improve our service, and we listen to what our valuable professors/instructors tell us. We
attend the national finance conferences and many of the regional finance meetings so that we can hear
first-hand comments and criticisms. Our ability to respond to the demands of the market has allowed us
to grow consistently even in turbulent times. If you are new to Stock-Trak, give us a try and find out
what you and your students are missing!
Stock-Trak is the most comprehensive stock market investment simulation and virtual stock market game on

is the only simulation offering stocks, options, futures, bonds, mutual funds, international stocks,
future options and spots. We have constructed this page to assist professors/instructors with ideas on
how to implement Stock-Trak into their classroom and how to get started.
