I’m Taking the Rookie Challenge!
MyWallSt.net, the financial social network for those interested in investing, is promoting their fantasy investing game with winners earning real money – US$ 1000.00
Anyone willing to hand me $100,000 of investment money to join a rookie challenge gets my attention. MyWallSt.net allow you to test the waters of invest while at the same time sharing strategies and tips with others. Think MySpace meets WallStreet.
Information feed through the simulator runs 15-20 minutes after actual market numbers allowing them to keep it real. You have between 10 & 4 Monday through Friday you get a chance to get your Street-On. There’s also the chance that you may win $1000.
My first impression? The sign-up process took less than 3 minutes after which time I was redirected back to the front page and told the market was closed. Looking in the upper right hand corner of the window I noticed a login button and sign-up button – didn’t I just sign up a second ago? Answers like this are addressed at the ROOKIE Challenge F.A.Q. Read the summary and instructions.
As someone that’s started earning real play money I find this site oddly attractive. Learning a bit about investing without touching my real money. Gives a bit of an idea of what takes place with my 403b funds. They even gave me a Free hat for following the directions.
Note that I haven’t said anything about you paying money. That’s because the Rookie Challenge registration is free. Can’t beat free to join, free to participate and you may even win their $1,000 weekly prize.
