You've heard of fantasy football. But have you heard of fantasy stock market games? Several of these games exist online. They can be a lot of fun while honing your investing skills. What are the benefits of playing? How can these games help you? How do they work? What are they?
Fantasy stock market games require you to set up a free account. You receive free virtual play money to invest in the game's stock market. You pick stocks and place trades. The games provide access to information on how to invest, how to choose stocks, and how those stocks are doing throughout the trading day.
One of the biggest benefits to these games is that you have the opportunity to invest in the stock market without risking any of your money. Of course, any profits you make are not in real money. You can get a feel for investing in the market. It's a good way to test your risk tolerance.
Another benefit is the investing courses and information that is included with many of these games. Many have videos to watch on investing. The information is very easy to understand.

The buying and trading offers valuable experience.
The games are a lot of fun. Where else can you get several thousand to a million dollars in under a minute? You have the chance to create great virtual wealth. You can compete against others to see who has the most winning portfolio. Watch out - the games will list the worst portfolios, too. A little extra incentive to do well. There are even contests and prizes.
Do you have a stock strategy you want to try? Unsure if it is going to work? These games are a great way to test out an investing strategy. Here you can tweak your portfolio and cut anything that doesn't work.
