The stock market has always fascinated me. I've always wanted to get into investing in the markets but never knew quite where to begin. It seemed like such an intimidating world and way out of my reach but recently I decided to take control (that's kind of my new thing if you haven't picked up on that already), and dive in! I'm reading everything I can get my hands on, scanning all of the stock market websites that I come across, and keeping my ears open for any tips on specific stocks that are "going up". I think i'm finally ready to give it a shot! But if you're feeling gun-shy and want to practice first, you can try out one of the paper trading sites like Investopedia or Trademonster. Both sites allow you to sign up with them and let you place real trades on real stocks with fake money. You can track your gains and losses against real-time stock quotes and see how you stack up against the pros before placing your bets with your hard earned cash.
Are you paper trading now? And if so, how is it going?
