What are the best virtual stock trading games?

I want to play a virtual stock trading game. One where i can keep a portfolio and all is real time stocks. I've tried UMOO, but i have to be in a tournament to see any change. One where i can have virtual money and real time stocks with a portfolio. Thanks

1. Investopedia.com has a simulation with options.

2. www.kaChing.com actually has a pretty nice platform and a good investing community. You can create your mock portfolio, it charges you trading fees, transactions are entered using real time data (even though it may show you delayed data outside of transactions), and you can follow other managers' activity on the site. Another decent option is www.updown.com, though the community is not nearly as strong and the site layout can be confusing. A third option is www.marketocracy.com, though the website is relatively slow and the community not as active. It's the older of the three and perhaps has more depth in terms of user expertise.

I think updown.com is the only one that has actual games and contests that you can enter with your portfolio, whereas the rest are geared more towards learning.

Mock trading is a way to test different strategies and get more familiar with investing, but if you want to take your skills to the next level with something more educational, you should check out: www.bandofanalysts.com. The blog is free and can help you develop a good sense of how to read the markets to understand what's really going on.
