Ive obviously never sold or bought any stocks, but while playing the stock exchange game, I
was able to get practice on speculating prices and learning what the stock exchange life would be like. Although this did make it easy to share, sell, and buy stocks from day-to-day stores and chains, it doesnt fully give the experience of sharing stocks because we as individuals are unable to feel the nerves that are involved in really trading stocks. Every value of the real dollar can bring gloom and despair or good and wealth; While with the Virtual Stock Exchange game, we dont really care where the money goes or how much we truly have while just inserting an estimated share to sell or buy. Investing is where we as individuals learn about life and finances and with the virtual game I learned more about the possibilities of one day sharing stock, but I was unable to feel the true feeling of giving away MY OWN money.

I did enjoy being able to pick and chose which companies I wanted to distribute money from, because most of them were companies that I shop at everyday and it was pretty cool to be able to act as if money was being gained towards those companies because of me selling and buying certain stocks.
