Victoria Picks: Virtual Stock Exchange

by Victoria Kovac

This time I am going to tell you about something very interesting, very useful and probably unusual for most of our readers. The Virtual Stock Exchange is exacatly like its name says - a virtual exchange for stocks where you can easy and with a lot of fun learn stock trading!

The frist step, in case you are not experienced in stock tradin, is to visit their Research page and "Getting started" section to learn the basis of the whole thing - Mutual Funds (you probably know quote a lot about them from HYWD) and Stocks.

Once you are done with this, you are ready for the more exciting part. Now you can:

Find a Game to Join - the other participarts in the Virtual Stock Exchange are creating new amazing games every day, where you can test your skills and tran yourself. To be able to join, you need to register - it is free and easy.

Here is for example one game I liked: "This game is for people who want to try a long term strategy. 1 Year and $10,000 is what you get to make as much as possible.". You see it is cool. Joining a game is doable simply by clicking a button and then you can start building virtual wealth. There are games for amateurs, for day traders, for experts, penny stock lovers and various challenges where you start with as little as $1000 virtual dollars and must make good virtual profits.

Create your own game - for some it will be even more exciting. You must enter ID, name, decide whether it will be public or private (means by invitation only), determine starting cash and set other configurations. It is really cool to see people playing by your idea.

In each game there is a ranking showing each player portfolio gains or loss and depending on the game settings it may show their complete portfolio details so you can learn from the leaders.

All of this is completely free so it is the best place for everyone who wants to learn stock trading themselves.
