Simulated Share Trading

[IanLock]

Hi

i know its not shooting related, but i would like to start playing with stocks and shares and stuff.

Can anyone recommend a web site, that allows you to practice and have an imaginary portfolio, ideally for free. were you can see how much you would have made/lost if you had really done it.

Any help would be greatly received.

A search on google came up with not alot.

Microsoft money has what you are looking for. Just start your own portfolio and you can simulate buying and selling. it will also keep track of your cash.

Here's a couple you can try.

etrade used to run a game, but apparently doesn't anymore.

Take care,

Fantasy trading is good to learn the lingo and rules of the game so to speak. However, I would not immediately think that your fantasy trading would be indicative of real money trading.

When real money is on the line people tend to be more cautious. Also when you have done the research on a company and held it for a while alot of folks tend to get attached to it. Both of these are bad juju for trading.

Use it as a learning tool but not as an indicator of real life.
