Managing imaginary monetries

[luckykaa]

I thought I'd have a play with a fantasy online stock trading game. 

So far I've made a couple of thousand of imaginary pounds on the currency markets, lost hundreds on share trading and made a total of £6 on spread betting. 

Still, the currency market is either vaguely predictable, or I've just been lucky.

It looks like a fascinating way to either get  very rich, or very poor very quickly.

cyncial me, is it by any chance sponsored by a stockbroker (who would then make money off your transaction charges and is luring you in?)

There's certainly a lot of advertising for online trading companies. As far as a business concept goes it's pretty clever. It's presumably intended for people who want to dabble but want to be sure they have what it takes before they do so.

This is exactly what the stock/money market is all about, IMO.

So will you be launching into the real, non-imaginary stocks?
