Stockerz virtual stock exchange

Here’s another one that’s been around for a while, but it looks pretty good. Stockerz sells itself as “a free educational stock market simulation game”.

It currently has 430 members. One neat thing that stands out is how to raise virtual money to spend on your stocks. Basically, the more you participate in the forums attached to the game, the more “cash” you get. Here’s a list to give you an idea how it works:

• Referral’s you get: $25
• If you get rep points: $5
• If you give rep points: $5
• Make a new thread: $5
• Make a post: $2
• Make a poll: $5
• Vote on a poll: $1
• Make a calender event: $10
• Add a picture to your profile: $10
• Fill in your entire profile: $5

I can see sound educational benefits in this type of application, as well as it being a lot of fun.
