I have known people that became millionaires just from buying and selling stocks but the whole thing seemed too complicated for me.
A Real Free Stock Simulation game has just been launched at a time when everyone is complaining about the stock market.
Is this really such a bad time to invest??
I have been playing with my Free Stock Market Game. They give you $100,000 virtual dollars to begin. I invested in a mortgage company. (I knew nothing about buying and selling stocks before this game). Now I see that this mortgage company has stocks that are down to about .15 and it got me really curious because this is A REAL TIME stock game. You are playing with fake money but all the information is based on actual real-time stock trading platform. It also provides portfolio updates and tracks ongoing individual progress on a full-motion leader board.
They start you off with $100,000 to buy your stocks with and each trade you make cost you $10. You have a $25,000 limit on each stock you can buy and each trade earns you 50 loyalty points. Posting on the message board there will also gain you 200 loyalty points. Presumably there will be a survivor store where you can spend your points in, but it is not up yet. The site is a lot of fun and can be an educational tool you can use to trade stocks for real if that is your choosing. Based on how your stocks do you are ranked against everyone else on the site, with the top 10 winning prizes for each game. A game usually runs approx. 2 months. There are prizes given out for many things with Daily and Weekly winners as well.
Not only will you save valuable time and money learning to play the stock market with this fun game, they give away real cash prizes, gift cards, and vacations!
I'm setting up my account with Etrade soon because the mortgage company stock just can't get any lower.
Have fun playing. It is so addicting!
