From October 2025 to the end of January 2026, nearly 40 students from Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences competed against students from across Germany in the stock market simulation “Planspiel Börse”, trading on the stock market with a fictitious starting capital of 50,000 euros.
Eid Abdelnaim (student of bachelor programme International Taxation & Law) achieved a portfolio value of 60,137 euros by the end of the game, a gain of more than 20% in 4 months, while well-known stock market indices such as Dow Jones or EURO STOXX 50 only performed 7% over the same period. He not only achieved the best result among all students in Kleve, but also the third-best performance of all students in the Rhineland.
