Greetings from the Offutt School of Business at Concordia College. We are happy to offer a commodity trading challenge to Minnesota FFA chapters. This online program will bring real world investment strategies and practices used in our Parke Technology Center. We hope this opportunity will be a great introduction to commodity investment and an engaging way for students to continue to sharpen their decision making and critical thinking skills.
To get started, click on the Register Your Teams button. Please review the Official Rules and Prize information below.
Teams must have their FFA advisor complete the team registration form.
Teams must have a minimum of 4 student members, with a maximum of 6.
Teams are comprised of students from the same chapter or class.
Each chapter or class can have multiple teams.
Students can only be registered on one team per tournament.
Suggestion, teams could nominate 1 student to be the active trader for the group, the remaining members will be investment advisors.
When registering teams, you will be asked how many teams you wish to register. Having done so, the system will email you the usernames and passwords for you to distribute.
Awards
The top three placing teams, based on total portfolio return at market close on the last day of the challenge, will receive cash prizes. The awards will be paid to the winning FFA chapters. It is our hope that these resources are seen as a fundraising opportunity for local chapters.
