Mac Media, Inc. announced today the immediate release of StockLinkU. StockLinkU is the first cloud-based software developed specifically for the educational markets that offers a real-world simulated stock trading and portfolio management tool. "In developing StockLinkU, we worked with leading finance professors and stock trading professionals to create a unique tool that gives instructors and students an experience that is as close to the real world of the financial markets as possible," said Mac Media Founder, Jordan Allen.
Designed with a detailed focus on improving instructors access to valuable and current information as well as student's needs to be better prepared for the challenging economic times of today. "In today's ever volatile financial markets, we knew that now was as important as any time in the last twenty years to provide a tool for teachers that would better prepare students for the markets they will face," Allen continued. StockLinkU will offer free and premium versions that will be used by entry level finance and graduate level investment classes. For additional information visit www.stocklinku.com.
