Comments on: Marketocracy vs. Wall Street Survivor http://www.stocktradingsoftwarereviews.org/marketocracy-vs-wall-street-survivor/ The worst and best in stock trading software Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:26:07 +0000 hourly 1 By: Tim http://www.stocktradingsoftwarereviews.org/marketocracy-vs-wall-street-survivor/comment-page-1/#comment-208 Tim Wed, 23 Dec 2009 16:09:05 +0000 http://www.stocktradingsoftwarereviews.org/marketocracy-vs-wall-street-survivor/#comment-208 I have tried Marketocracy and found it slightly disappointing. It’s certainly not the worst free trading simulator out there but the system seemed a bit buggy to me and the site was always a little sluggish. That said, it is a good way to get your feet wet if you’re new to stock trading and investing. It’s perfect for teens, college students, or anyone else who has dreams of trading for a living but doesn’t have any bankroll yet. It’s better to learn the hard knocks with paper trades first before risking hard capital. Wall Street Survivor sounds like the superior service and I’ll have to check that out.

I don’t see a reason to have to choose between them and since I find something worthwhile there, I might as well take advantage. I do slightly enjoy Wall Street Survivor though, more fun and I can easily spend more time here. Marketocracy is great as well, ad I value the other people that are in their and their advice, it is very user friendly and encourages its users to mingle.

Kind of excited and want to get over there and get started right away. I have always been too nervous to invest on my own before, but this sounds like it is right up my alley and something I can handle. If nothing else I think I will be able to learn a lot and get over the nervousness that overcomes me when I think about trading. Even the one Primate mentioned sounds neat.
