Virtual Stock Exchange - Free Web Based Stock Market Game!

A Fun and Realistic Way to Play the Stock Market!

We have all seen the movies where about 1000 guys in suits are screaming "SELL, SELL, SELL" this is how we picture the stock exchange. Well before you go to Wall Street and start screaming and selling your stocks, there is an
 interactive web based stock market game you can play to gain experience on stock trading. The game is called Virtual Stock Exchange and you can find it on the web at (http://vse.marketwatch.com).

To play Virtual Stock Exchange you must first register on the site, which is quick and easy. Once registered you can choose many options of game play, you can just simply join a game that is already in progress or you can create your own or wait to be invited to a specific game. With all the options it gives the game some flare, you can join with your friends and play a private game and see who has the best trading skills. You also can join a generic game and see if you can beat all the other online players, some of them are pretty crafty and do quite well.

When you start a game depending on which option you choose you are given some start up capitol by Virtual Stock Exchange. You then need to start buying stocks, it's a pretty straight forward process, you type in the stock symbol (or the name of the company you want) and then click on GO. It then brings you to the buying process which has many options that I don't really know much about, Google better watch out because I will find out soon enough what the difference in the pricing types are (Market, Limit, and Stop). Once you purchase your stock then you just have to wait and see if your stock goes up or down. Buy low and sell high is how I have been working my game but I am in fifth place out of ten friends so I don't know if my strategy is working so well.

Of all the stock market games I have tried, Forevex is the best. I'm playing at forevex, because I have options to win real money or prizes for free, and I can invest without any risk, totally free. Forevex is a stock exchange game where everything is ruled by the fame of the stocks. At forevex quotes athletes, politicians, actors, musicians, brands, etc... And the benefits can be changed for real money and/or prizes as you like. Check the game: http://www.forevex.com/en/ If you register at this game, please refer to me with this number: 1056253
