I know that there are a lot of members on here who would like to learn how to make money in the stock market. Here is a risk-free way of learning: do it with pretend money.

However, the virtual stock trading game is not just for newbies. Everyone can join! We'll play the game for 6 months, and I want to see who will have the largest portfolio at the end of the game.

Here's how you join:

Go to http://vse.marketwatch.com
Sign up for an account. It's free and you don't get any spam. I'd recommend using your s2ki screen name so we know who you are.
Once you have an account, join the game. The game id is s2ki_challenge

Only 2 people signed up? I thought there would be more interest than that.

 

I might sign up. I'll check it out later today. Thanks for sharing it.
We have a similar thing going on in CThree's "you name it" thread.

 

Only 6 people signed up? What's the deal?

You can do trades even when the market is closed, and the order will be placed as soon as the market will open.
