"OSAMA.CAPTURE.JAN05" Futures Contracts
To all finance students,
Graduating or near graduation? If you are like me, you don't have much cash. And you can't afford to put your savings in the stock market. Or simply, you're a bit intimidated. I know how you feel. You've studied finance for three years but still can't tell what to buy to make money.
Well don't worry there is a solution (quite a few in fact): you can trade in all sort of securities, on line and without risking your hard-earned dollars (or giving your credit card details for "free trials"). There are several very good simulation websites where you can test your understanding of market mechanisms. And if you are really serious about trading on the real market then you can still do so without putting in your drinking money.
I am sure you'll find what you want among the following sites:
- Hollywood Stock Exchange.This is great for cinephiles. You can trade celebrity bonds and film stock and even futures. New releases stocks can be bought at the movie's Initial Public Offering. It's a lot of fun.
- Foresight Exchange. This site allows members to trade in claims on future events in politics, art, entertainment, science & technology and many other fields. You can buy and sell USNKorea claims (It stands for US attacks North Korea).
- Tradesports.com. This also a good site. I would register but I am already involved in the Hollywood Stock Exchange. You can even trade OSAMA.CAPTURE.DEC04 claims. Great site!
- Newsfutures.com. This is similar to foresight Exchange. very interesting.
- Reuters.com. If you want to trade in real securities, create an account with Reuters.com and you will be able to add securities to a virtual portfolio. (Click "Portfolio" in the menu)
That's it! you are ready to trade. When you go to that big interview you'll impress the board with your fluency with basic trades. Ah ah ah ...
Have fun!
