Stock Club is unique to Landmark because it is a fully student-run club, meaning the students dictate how the club operates. Every Monday ("Money Monday"), a member of Stock Club presents a stock of their choosing, and then the club votes on whether to buy it. Sometimes, presenters go head-to-head and debate which stock is the better investment before the club decides which one to buy and which to pass on. Members conduct extensive research to ensure they are making smart investments.

I, Jackson Booker, the President of Stock Club, have been a member for all four years—so far, I am the only one to have done that. When I was a freshman, our account balance was $10,000, and now it has grown to $15,500, which is a significant gain. Our biggest earner was Netflix, with an almost 300% increase.

The best part of the club is the people in it—without them, the club wouldn’t exist!
