THE MOCKSTOCK
What is a Mock Stock?

A mock stock simulation is a gamified demo recreation of the Stock Market. These
simulations test the analytical and research skills of the participants. Under our iteration, there
are 8 listed companies and Gold in which participants can invest.
The markets will be dictated by the news headlines of the companies given before each round.
The news headlines will govern the market forces of demand & supply, i.e, if a lot of
participants are buying the shares of a company, the price of that company’s shares will
increase whereas if multiple participants are selling the shares of the company, the price of its
shares will decrease.
Hence, positive news leads to a rise in market prices whereas negative news leads to a fall in
said prices. The news updates may turn out to be rumours or may be indicative towards future
events regarding the company, industry, economy and competitive landscape.
Thus, the motive is to make profits off the differences in the market prices between rounds.
Participants will be judged on the basis of their total portfolio valuation and cash component
held at the end of all 3 rounds at the prevailing market prices.

of 1400 INR, then the said participant can utilize this cash (20x1400 = 28,000) in any
Round, including Round 1 to buy shares of other companies)
