Three years ago I was taking a math class at LDS Business College and one of our assignments was to sign up on a website that allowed us to trade real stocks with virtual money. We had to give the teacher our usernames and passwords for the site and at the end of the semester he was going to give the student who made the “most money” trading stocks a prize. Guess who won? Yes! It was me! He gave me a CD of songs about money, such as “She Works Hard For The Money” and “Can’t Buy Me Love”. He also gave me a CD of love songs because I was getting married soon after the semester was over.
This was a lot of fun to do and I learned a lot. You can trade real stocks with virtual money at MyWallSt.net. Unlike the website I used with MyWallSt you have people to help you make smart choices on which stocks to choose and they also have up to date news on stockmarket information. MyWallSt.net is also a social network site so it is easy to make friends (including professionals) who will help you with stock picks. Creating a profile for the website allows you to navigate the site easier and avoid errors.
Using a website like this makes it so much easier to understand how you can make money off stocks than just reading the wall street journal. The learning curve for trading stocks doesn’t happen over night so learning with MyWallSt.com will help prepare you for trading stocks with real money when you’re ready. Your learning can even pay off before then because with MyWallSt you have a chance to $1,000 (real money). I think I would like to win that more than a CD!

This sounds interesting. I’m going to check it out. I hope they are still offering the $1,000.
