The Game of Investing

I want to learn more about investing in the stock market in a safe environment where I don’t lose any money. That’s why I was so glad to learn about MyWallSt.net. Think of My Wall Street as a social network investing game. It’s free and easy to sign up. Best of all, MyWallSt.net rewards outstanding rookie players with real cash.

It’s called the rookie challenge and each week a rookie player wins the $1000 prize. Each player begins with a portfolio of $100,000 to invest how they so choose. The rookie player with the highest percentage gain in their portfolio is the week’s winner.

I will officially began playing tomorrow then the market is open again. Each day at the end of trading, stats are configured and are viewable in your profile so you can see exactly how you are doing. I’m looking forward to taking part in the rookie challenge not only for the chance to win some real cash but a chance to learn more about investing.

MyWallSt.net combines social networking and online gaming, taking real quotes of stocks and market values to make up game data. I love the social network aspect since you can view other people’s profiles and learn something about investing from your peers. I remember in high school playing the stock market game with pen and paper. Now this method is much cooler and easier. Best of all, it’s free and takes less than five minutes to sign up and confirm your account.

I can’t wait to get started. Hopefully I can take first place in the rookie challenge. If not, I hopefully will learn a little something about investing while playing the game.
