Pros: Easy to Navigate and Play Cons: Not Good for Groups, Lots of Trading Restrictions
You read about them all the time, the casualties of sudden wealth. They might be young athletes, models, or actors, hoodwinked by unscrupulous agents. They might be lottery winners who spend it faster than they receive it. Usually they're people who...
Pros: You Won't Lose Money, But You may win money Cons: Lose all your goodies at the end of the month
Cisco Systems, a mere 20 dollars a share! Clarent Corp. a ridiculous $7.81, Down from a high of $178.75 in the past year. How can you pass these values up? Both technology stocks in good solid companies, and both at almost their all time low.
...
Pros: great fun, challenging, learning experience Cons: none!
The Yahoo Investment Challenge is basically a game based on investing in the stock market. You are given an amount of money to start out the month, and then you are told that you need to buy stocks, and put them into play. You are competing against...
One of the best things about Epinions is the opportunity to meet others who have similar interests and can exchange information. We see this view reflected in other viewers when they participate in products write-offs. A write-off is a wonderful way to...
Pros: simple rules, fair competition for big prizes, great no-risk investment experience Cons: advanced strategies won't work due to limitations
Would you ever buy a car without doing research first? I hope not. What about a test-drive? No way, right? Well, if you think you're ready to invest, but have never done this before, or perhaps just want to try some new strategies, investment challenge...
Pros: Good Cash Prizes Cons: Stocks only, delayed executions
If my friends Frazzledspice and DoubleCoog could have seen me, when the words “We are playing the Yahoo! Investment Game. Do you want to join us?” popped up on my IM screen they would have immediately rescinded the offer. I had played this game in early...
Pros: lots of interaction...easy to use Cons: not as detailed as other sites
I have already reviewed the Etrade market simulation game, and having noted once again that it is more of a ploy than anything, I still stand firmly resolved that it is one of the better games on the Internet...certainly better than the Yahoo version....
Pros: free, view other's holdings, new contest every month Cons: lots of day traders
I've participated in the Yahoo! Investment Challenge three times and each time I learn something new. New about myself, stocks, trends, and how risky I really am willing to be.
Yahoo's Investment Challenge, although it is a relatively barebones setup must be given credit for its rather large prizes ($5000 for first, $3000 second, $2000 third, every MONTH!) and also having the foresight to set a starting amount of cash (which...
Pros: Real prizes, you might learn something Cons: You can learn bad habits, winning odds are poor
This investment simulation is easy to get started on. If you're not a Yahoo member you can easily join Yahoo, then sign up for the game. You get a fantasy portfolio of $100,000, and prizes are given to the top three players each month.
Pros: Lot of options, real stocks Cons: Can't buy "penny" stocks, no privacy of holdings
Have you ever wanted to take part in the stock market, but were afraid of losing money? Have no fear, because Yahoo! Investment Challenge (YIC) is here. This stock "game" allows users to pick real-life stocks and put them into a fantasy portfolio. The...
Pros: In-depth coverage, Fantasy Stock Contest Cons: 20 minute delay in quotes, but that goes with most sites
All right - I have been an avid Fantasy Stock Trader on Yahoo! since June, and have loved every minute of it. You go to the Yahoo! Finance site and register for the contest. They give you $100,000 in fantasy stock money to spend any way you see fit. Talk...
Pros: No-Risk "investing", competition, and you can see how "market savvy" you are. Cons: Not everyone has the time to day-trade and keep up.
Yahoo!s Investment challenge is a great way to dabble in the market without risking any of your hard earned money. I love the fact that it is likened to a "practice run", where you can actually buy and sell in real time; given enough time, an...
Pros: Chance to win. Great learning tool. Cons: Hard to win(of course!). Some limits to investing.
Investing is like gambling. There are your high stakes, low stakes and the safe bets. No one knows if a stock is going to go up or down. To play it safe you can invest in a mutual fund or bond that is extremely low risk, but at the same time yields low...
Pros: Few Cons: Nearly everything. Not recommended.
There are currently about 30 market simulator products and games on the net, and this is one of the worst. I've played most of them. Delayed prices, no options, no special orders - none of the advanced features found in other challenges. And the prizes?...
