Capital Markets Stock Simulator

The Investopedia Stock Simulator:  Our stock market game is like a fantasy sports pool for investing - it simulates the experience of trading in the stock market. Our system connects to a real-life data feed, allowing you to invest just like you would with an online trading account at any discount broker, but with $100,000 of virtual cash, you can trade without fear of losing real money!
