Students win HK Stock 360 - <em>King of Investment</em> competition

After numerous rounds of making gruelling investment decisions, a team of four BBA students has won the HK Stock 360 - King of Investment competition. Organized by the Hong Kong Economic Journal Company Limited (HKEJ), the competition was open to the public, and ran for two months from 22nd March to 30th April. 

Participants made decisions on stock purchasing options and managed their Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) listed accounts on the Main-Board Market and the Growth Enterprises Market of the Hong Kong Stock market.  The team members were Pearl Wong, Chun Chu, a Year 3 Business Economics student, and Tom Tam Tai Yuen, , Conrad Cheung Chun Hung, and  Miko Chan, Tsz Yan, all year 3 Management Science students.

Team member Tom Tam shared his feelings after the competition:

We want to express our gratitude and appreciation to the teaching faculty Prof Frank Chen, Dr Stephen Leung, Ms Sally Tsang, and Ms Sandy Wong, who have supported and guided us throughout the competition in the past 2 months.

Through participating in this competition, we are not only learning the theories from the textbooks, but also applying these theories into a real business. These are things that we cannot learn from merely textbooks.

The stocks that the team chose recorded a more than 100% increase in value.  Tom believed that their effort in analyzing the different elements, comprehensive risk management and close monitoring of the market contributed to their success.
