    I would be very much interested in doing some pretend stock trading before I actually invest my own money. It would be a good tool to use to see if I am any good at it and to learn along the way.

    I wish there was a better virtual stock market game. The best I ever played was on Android. The ones online tend to be pretty basic. I kinda wish you could cash out your virtual funds for gift cards or something. Like a rewards program.

    While I'm new and obviously can't speak for everyone, it seems like this would be a good little tool to learn how stocks and trading works, especially for newbies such as myself. If you're only using fake money, then there's no worry about losing anything, although that could in turn mean that people who learn from this don't learn the risk of it.

    Yes that would be a great idea! I would definitely "play" it. It should have some kind of competitions like who gets the biggest return after the month.

    I have a friend who is interested in the stock market but does not want to put up money without know what he is doing. I think this would a good way to develop skills without having to risk actually money. I would also be interested in this. :rolleyes:

    I did something similar in high school economics and it was a lot of fun. It's a good way to get some practical experience with how the market works and very useful for people who don't necessarily have a lot of money to lose on beginner mistakes.

    I would join if someone here were to set one up. I've done them before, and it's always exciting.
