Paper Trading: Virtual Stock Exchange

[The_Animus]

I know there are a few different "Practice Stock Market" websites out there that let you invest virtual money in real stocks to give you practice at the stock market before investing your actual money. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestions for any one in particular. Perhaps someone knows one that is a little more user friendly, or provides better information on the companies, or whatever else that one site has that another does not.

Thanks.

I've never looked at one, but my guess is they would be geared toward day traders and momentum "investors", or other people who trade daily/weekly/monthly.

If you are a buy and hold investor, they won't do you any good. Because you would have to wait years to find out how you have done. By then, it would have been easier to buy the actual stock.

That is true. Though this is to just as much to have some fun as for actual practice.
