Bull 🐂 or bear 🐻? Here's the thing, it's not just about picking a side.

In the stock market, a "bull market" means prices are rising and investors feel confident. A "bear market" means prices are falling and caution takes over. The smartest traders learn to read both.

That's exactly what the JA Stock Market Challenge is for. Students get to practice real trading decisions, build their strategies, and see how the market actually works — without the real-world risk.

Join us on October 23 at YSU Williamson College of Business and find out which one you'll be 👇

We're grateful to partner with the Mahoning Valley Young-Professionals to support McGuffey PK 8 School in Warren, Ohio students this school year.

School supplies poured in, and one item stood out — crayons! 🖍️ They were among the most donated supplies, and the students couldn't be happier. Sometimes the simplest tools make the biggest difference in sparking creativity and confidence in the classroom.

Thank you to everyone who contributed. Together, we're helping young learners start the year strong.
