I would like to test my skills at trading, but before i start using REAL money, i’d like to give it a shot with "FAKE" money first. Can anyone here point me into the right direction. I’m going to be reading a few books on stock investing/trading and want to have access to a website that lets me "paper" trade.

Also… are there any free sites out there with REAL TIME quotes??? Preferably with a LIVE chart/graph?

Thanks for any help!

   Its going to be difficult to get the free RTQ, as the exchanges charge for that information… I know of nowhere for that.

   Anyways, there are still a bunch of places to try – look at Investopedia.com, Marketocracy.com, Vse.Marketwatch.com, eInvesting.com… one of those should work for you.

   Anybody can make a million paper trading. The real difficulties of trading only begin to surface when real money is involved — as I’m sure you’ll one day find out.
