playin' the stocks game
raamdev: You might want to try using the free Stock Market Game UpDown for a few weeks/months to practice investing:http://www.updown.com/?_refer=36311They give you $1 million in play money to invest, but you actually make real money based on your performance (no minimum transfer amount -- I've made a whooping $0.82 so far, but I can withdraw it if I want).
