The purpose of the Shock Exchange is twofold: To Provide Stimulation Through AthleticsWe attempt to recruit young people who already have athletic ability and have demonstrated a passion for basketball. Our goal is to take those basic skills and help kids elevate their games through (i) enhancing their fundamentals through practice and drills and (ii) increasing their basketball IQ by teaching them the "science" of basketball and overall strategy.
To Provide Mental Stimulation Through Investment ManagementThe Shock Exchange will introduce kids to the world of business and investing. Players will be divided into investment teams and will be expected pick the stock of at least one publicly-traded company and track the performance of that stock over the course of one year. Kids will be introduced to the entire investment process and educated in the fundamentals that Mr. Baker has learned in his over 10+ years of Mergers & Acquisitions ("M&A") experience, including but limited to:
- Investment research,
- Due diligence, and
- Portfolio tracking. |
