<p>I like picking stocks, investing, etc. but unfortunately there's no nationwide "Investing test" or anything. I know there are some legit investing contests [the cnbc.com one, with a grand prize of $500,000 comes to mind, but you have to be 18+ for that] but I've seen a lot of sketchy ones as well. Anyone have any ideas?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>EDIT: Sorry for putting this in the wrong forum.</p>
<p>I don't know about any contests, but I use investopedia.com as a decent simulator. Good for trying out new strategies and stuff.</p>
<p>(Btw, I've (technically, my dad, but I told him when to buy and sell it) made over $15,000 in the airline sector. For example, I bought one at 3.80 over a month ago and sold at 13.00 a few days ago.)</p>
<p>I probably should have been clearer in the title. I'm looking for contests or competitions, rather than just a simulation.</p>
<p>Thanks anyway, though. :)</p>
<p>Bump, 10char</p>
<p>Try thinkorswim.</p>
<p>Better yet, you learn fastest by playing with real money. If you have $1000 that you can afford to lose, jump right in.</p>
<p>I've been learning as I go and turned 40% profit so far in 2 months.</p>
