These games are great practice and a lot of fun. But do try to take them seriously and invest with the same risk tolerance you have in real life. It is too easy to take extra risk when just playing a game. In real life, that extra risk can decimate a portfolio.

I' ve signed up for the wallstreetsurvivor game. So far I'm enjoying the courses and have bought shares in two stocks for the course portfolio. I bought shares in Bank of America and Amazon.
Are you playing a fantasy stock market game?
