BSE Game – Virtual Stock Trading Without Any Investment

These days, most of us want a quick buck. We can’t wait for out investments to reap and for the money to flow in. Stock markets can just help do that! If you have some cash ready and are looking to invest it somewhere for quick returns, stock market is the place! But before you start trading stocks there are some factors you need to take care of. There are many blogs dealing exclusively with stock trading, but experience comes with practice and only practice will make you perfect. So no matter the number of books you read, blogs you visit, courses you join, you’ll learn stock trading only by practice. Neither will you make profits every time nor will you lose your money every time! Each time you make a profit you’ll be motivated and each time you make a loss you’ll be demotivated more. And to make real profit you need a big investment which is not always possible. And even if you’ve a big investment, you won’t be ready to invest all of it in stocks fearing huge loss. And to get rid of that fear of losing all your money in stocks, you need a lot of motivation which only practice can give you. But how?

Have you ever heard about virtual stock trading? Virtual stock trading is real trading where in you don’t have to invest anything and you can still buy or sell stocks. Since you are not spending any money, you obviously won’t get any money in return. But virtual stock trading actually helps you improve your stock trading skills! Before I actually spent some real cash on stocks, I practiced hard playing online stock trading games! Though I came to know of online stock trading games three years back, I only started using them a year back when the official BSE game was launched.

In these three years I had spent some cash on stocks, but I had never invested more than 50 thousand on stocks. I had never made a loss so far, but still feared making a loss if I invested a big sum and that’s why I decided to try official BSE game by DSIJ.
