Have You Joined The Global Craze For Trading On A Virtual Stock Exchange?

The use of virtual stock exchanges for beginners to practice and learn new skills and for families and friends to compete against each other has been growing quickly. If you are not familiar with this, it is certainly worth checking out.

At VirtualStockExchange it is possible to create public or private games, allowing you to compete against the world or a group of friends. If you like the idea of competing with the world, some of the public games have several thousand participants. For me, I'd rather play for real, but I can understand the interest and excitement of playing for fun like this.

A site which is designed to help people practice their skills is called HowThemarketWorks and will help you learn to short sell, trade ETFs, mutual funds and stocks. It is a great idea and one that should help any beginner.

There is also an online game designed for students. Broadly the idea is that while the students are 'playing a game' against each other in 'fictional' markets, they are actually learning financial skills for life. What an idea! TheStockMarketGame is a fabulous idea for teachers and students alike.

Of course, in the virtual world, almost anything is possible, which explains why there is also a Hollywood stock exchange which enables movie stars and their movies to be bought and sold.

I have also seen an airline exchange, for pilots and planes and a marketing guru exchange ( called Gurudaq ) for internet marketers. I'm sure there must be dozens of others! For a little fun, I explore these ideas on the following pages...
