MainXchange

Pros: Attractive, well-designed site, link to a good news site, some investing information
Cons: A brazen play for kids' dollars, much more shopping and ad viewing than anything else

MainXchange is a great looking, highly engaging, beautifully designed site. And it repulses me. Billed as a stock market game and learning tool, the site is the slickest possible consumer site. It skillfully lures children in, using raw materialism as...

Cons: Also a potential danger of online predators

Pros: It's free and fun

First, mainxchange gives you some "play" money to play...

Pros: educational and you get prizes
Cons: none

I have been a member of Mainxchange for a very long time. Back in the day they used to give out software to play their stockmarket game. They have come a long way since then and now everything can be done on their site and it's better than ever. They...
