So you think you’re a hotshot daytrader? Let’s see if you can walk the talk.

My colleague recently forwarded me a link to this cool website called Inspectd, where you can trade real stocks with fake money. While the Internet is already littered with hundreds websites that offer similar features, Inspectd is unique in that you can “fast forward” your time-horizon to ascertain your daytrading skills in a matter of seconds rather than waiting for weeks or months. From the website:

Inspectd.com allows you to test your stock market skills against over 20 million actual historical charts. We’ll show you a random stock from a random date in the past, and you try to guess whether it rose or dropped. We’ll even give you $100,000 in play money to test your skill. But beware: it’s addictive!

My little test drive was a wild one indeed. The monopoly money zigzagged from $100k, to $50k, to $130k, to $65k, to $171k, to $40k, to $100k and finished shamefully at $35k. My biggest let down was SAM. It lured me into a deceiving uptrend just prior to slipping precipitously by 36%. :( Maybe you have better luck than I, but I’m going back to my day job tomorrow. Let me know how you did.

FJ,

Your virtual portfolio fluctuated wildly because you probably were 100% invested in each stock. If you had invested 10% at a time, you might have come ahead..

Hey, if you fancy a personal memento of this (or anything else) then check out www.hand-painted-art.com and get it (or anything else you want) from your own photograph (original print or digital)
