Stock-Market-Strategy-Games-Learn-Stock-Trading-New-Investor-By-Sagar-Ganatra

1. Wall Street Survivor

WallStreet
Invest $100,000 in virtual cash via drop-down menu choices. A friendly cartoon version of stock guru Mark Brookshire helps you make your final decision by providing some rating numbers when you input a stock. These include a rating for survivor sentiment, fundamentals, technical and a Motley Fool Rating.
For additional help choosing stocks, the site has an impressive resource library that spans beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. Start with Investing 101 and consider taking advantage of the community forums if you have specific questions. Those who need a little help getting started can also choose to adapt one of the preset portfolios created by proven traders.
While the $100,000 competition is most popular, anybody on the site can create a contest. Prizes vary, but most often consist of competitive pride.

2. HowTheMarketWorks

howthemarketworks
Owned by the same company as Wall Street Survivor, this game is great for investors looking to gain experience with a new type of portfolio. In addition to stocks and indexes, there are options to experiment with Forex portfolios, penny stocks, mutual funds and short selling.
Beginners can execute market order-based trades in a "fun mode" without worrying about things like set hours, maximum number of trades per day, per stock and order expiration. A "realistic mode" amps up the complexity after they've mastered the beginner level.
Players can manage up to three stock portfolios and three Forex portfolios on the site at once. For each portfolio, they select a starting value between $100 and $500,000 and set how much virtual commission you are charged per trade.
The competition aspect is optional. General monthly contests give each player $25,000 as a virtual starting point. Other public contests include challenging restrictions like "short sells only" or "penny stocks only." Users can create their own password-protected games as well, which is a feature that teachers find helpful for creating class competitions.

3. Young Money Stock Market Game

Young_Money
Young Money Magazine's stock exchange game is easy to learn but also fairly realistic, which is a hard balance to strike.
Realistic aspects include a virtual commission that's taken out of each trade, adhering to market hours and rules about how you can invest. Unlike many investing games, trades are made at a real-time price. Learning aspects include convenient help icons on key terms and an intuitive tabbed interface.
The site runs a monthly contest with a $100 (real) cash prize that goes to whoever gained the highest percentage. Players can also create their own contests or join other user-made contests.

4. MarketWatch Fantasy Earnings Trader Game

Market_Watch
MarketWatch will run this mock stock market contest for a total of four weeks, awarding the winner of each week with an iPad. It's on week three right now, but there's still time to get in on the competition for week four.
You must have your selections picked before the week starts on Monday. The shares that you select are "purchased" at Monday's open and will "sell" automatically at Friday's close.
The catch is that all players can only use the 15 to 20 symbols selected for each week. The companies are selected by the game owner for companies that are projecting their earnings during each week. Lining up picks is easy -- players simply drag the company's logo to their trading card and designate if they want to sell short or go long.
Although there are some pros playing, this game is especially manageable for beginners due to the limited stock options for each week.

5. UpDown

UpDown
Like Young Money's game, UpDown has helpful icons that explain key terms for beginners. More comprehensive resources in the education center mercifully cover even the most basic of investing concepts.



1. Open a Stock Broker Account
Find a good online stock broker and open an account. Become familiarized with the layout and to take advantage of the free trading tools offered to clients only. Some brokers even offer virtual trading which is extremely beneficial because you can trade with play money. You can find a list of brokers that support virtual trading on StockBrokers.com.
2. Read Books
Books provide a wealth of information and are usually inexpensive. Here on the site I have a full list of 20 great stock trading books for investors to consider. My personal all time favorite is How to Make Money in Stocks by William O’Neil, founder of CANSLIM Trading (find more books written by William O'Neil).
3. Read Articles
Articles can serve as a fantastic resource and are usually easy to understand and follow. Our free Stock Education page here on Stock Trading To Go lists over 100 unique investment articles broken down into categories. Everything from ETFs to margin trading and technical analysis basics are covered. I also recommend checking out investopedia.com.
4. Find a Mentor
A mentor could be a family member, a friend, a past or current professor, co-worker, or any individual that has a fundamental understanding of the stock market. A good mentor is willing to answer questions, provide help, recommend useful resources, and keep spirits up when the market gets tough. All successful investors of the past and present have had mentors during their early days.
5. Ask Lots of Questions
Having a place to ask questions and receive answers is a huge asset for any new investor. In school asking questions to a teacher/instructor/professor or leveraging online stock forums there is always someone readily available to help the cause. Some popular stock forums include Elite Trader and Trade2Win.
6. Browse Financial News Sites
News sites such as Yahoo Finance and Google Finance serve as a great resource for new investors. By reading headline stories investors can expose themselves to different stock terms for example. Pulling quotes and observing fundamental data can also serve as another good source of exposure.
7. Consider Paid Subscriptions
Paying for research and analysis can be both educational and useful. Some investors may find watching or observing market professionals to be more beneficial than trying to apply newly learned lessons themselves. There are many paid subscription sites available including Dan Zanger, Investors.com, and Morningstar just to name a few.
8. Watch TV
When the stock market is open CNBC is the #1 source for financial news. Even turning on CNBC for 15 minutes a day will broaden an investors knowledge base. Don't let the lingo or the style of news be a nuisance, just simply watch and allow the commentators, interviews, and comments to soak in. Note though, over time you may find that a lot of the investing shows on TV are more of a distraction and overall full of crap. This is a natural occurrence; you are not alone!
9. Go to Seminars
Seminars can provide valuable insight into the overall market and specific investment types. Most seminars will focus on one specific aspect of the market and how the speaker has found success utilizing their own strategies over the years. Note all seminars have be paid for either. Some seminars are provided free which can be a beneficial experience, just be conscious of the sales pitch that will almost always come at the end.

But all this is not just limited to consoles and computers anymore as smartphones have emerged as the ultimate devices for gaming, largely because they are mobile.
Android and iOS have helped devices get smarter and faster, giving game makers an opportunity to go big with immersive 3D graphic games and in depth audios that make gaming a very thrilling pastime.
So if you too like gaming on the go then here we present to you our top five gaming smartphones that you can buy for some thumb numbing action.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo L (Rs 16,499)
Sony Ericsson Xperia Play with its extensive gaming capabilities and controls was one of the best gaming phones of its times and still is. But of late there has been a need for a better and more cost effective device with serious gaming muscle and hence Sony announced yet another Playstation certified device, the Xperia Neo L. To keep its cost low Xperia Neo L doesn't have PSP controls, and this makes it more practical as well.
Top 5
In terms of hardware the Xperia Neo L features specifications similar to the Xperia Play with a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a dedicated Adreno 205 graphics engine, ensuring smoother and faster graphics performance. It has 512 MB of RAM to keep performance speedy, which is essential for gaming. The 4 inch capacitive touchscreen with 480 x 854 pixel resolution and rich colour reproduction is perfectly complemented with brilliant sound output.
The Xperia Neo L runs on Google Android Ice Cream Sandwich that has hundreds of free and paid games. If that is not enough then users can also make use of the Playstation Suite-a dedicated store for Playstation certified devices for more content such as optimized games and multimedia content as well.
iPhone 5 (Rs 45,500)
The new Apple iPhone 5 is in every sense better and an overall improvement over previous models. The phone has a big, 4 inch Retina display that comes with 1136 x 640 pixel resolution and 326 pixel per inch density. This Retina display is based on IPS panel technology and supports multi-touch. It also has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. The bigger display and fast hardware makes for superb gaming.
Top 5

Inside the chassis, it packs a new Apple A6 quad core mobile processor comprising of ARM Cortex A15 core architecture. The new high performance processor leaves no room for sluggishness and all users get is supercharged performance, which is very evident, especially in games.
Apple has used the new iSight camera that features an 8 megapixel image sensor, and there are three high density microphones for enhanced video recording in full 1080p HD resolution. The front facing camera has 1.2 megapixel resolution that comes in real handy for HD quality video chats.
HTC One X (Rs 36,099)
HTC One X is the flagship One series smartphone that comes with a polycarbonate unibody with a unique slimness and Gorilla Glass strength. Although the device was launched sometime back, the One X continues to be at the top of the charts for most benchmarking tools because of its raw performance.
Top 5
Featuring a 4.7 inch HD Super LCD 2 display, the One X supports a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixel and is therefore great for gaming. It does justice to HD visuals too. HTC has used a slightly contoured Corning Gorilla Glass to protect the display from usual wear and tear on the screen. The One X houses a quad core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz with an Nvidia Tegra 3 mobile processor with integrated fifth battery saver core. For best possible graphics it has a high performance 12 core Nvidia GeForce GPU that functions on the lowest possible power and offers the best performance for a mobile device till date.
This smartphone features HTC Sense 4.0 UI with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Packing 1 GB RAM, this smartphone offers 16 GB onboard storage, but does not feature a memory card slot, which is a letdown along with the non-removable battery design.
Besides all this the One X gets access to Nvidia Tegra zone for optimized games for best in class performance and experience.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (Rs 38,000)
Built around the success story of the big screen Samsung Galaxy Note N7000, the Note 2 N 7100 comes with an even bigger display and a faster processor that makes it one of the fastest, most performance oriented devices available in the market today.
Top 5

The Galaxy Note 2 houses a quad core 1.6 GHz Samsung Exynos 4 quad core mobile processor with 2 GB RAM and Mali-400MP graphics chip, which even gives it an edge over the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
Samsung has implemented a new feature called Popup Note that lets the user open the S Note instantly as a pop-up window anywhere on the screen. The Galaxy Note 2 has an 8 megapixel camera at the back with auto focus and LED flash. This camera is capable of recording full 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second and in the front it features a 1.9 megapixel camera for video calling.
LG Optimus 4X (Rs 32,200)
Although LG now has an official flagship device in the form of the LG Optimus G, in India the Optimus 4X remains the flagship device as long as the Optimus G is still awaited. Built around an Nvidia Tegra quad core processor, the LG Optimus 4X offers the best value for money and surely is one choice for performance fanatics.
Top 5

Android-Gingerbread-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-Jelly Bean-By-Sagar-Ganatra

Android is currently the leading platform in the mobile world. The first commercial version was released on September 23, 2008 and since then; Google has released 9 versions of the operating system with Jelly Bean being the recent one.

So, what is it that makes one Android OS different from another? An OS update comes with the already present features and some new additions to the existing platform. Be it a better UI, performance enhancement, or introduction of an altogether new feature, users will find Android OS updates inclusive of all these things. In this article, we will discuss the difference between the three latest Android OS; Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean.

Android 2.3.x Gingerbread
Android Gingerbread was released on December 6, 2010 with support for voice or video chat using Google Talk. The OS had support for extra large screen sized phones with higher resolution. Here are a few more features:

1. Native support for SIP VoIP telephony
2. Faster and more intuitive keyboard
3. Allowed users to select a word by pressing-hold, copy, and paste
4. Support for Near Fear Communication Technology5.
6. Support for secondary camera
7. Support for gyroscope and barometer

1. Face recognition application to unlock the phone
2. Contact list shows more information about contacts and their social networks updates
3. Zoom in/out feature in calendar
4. Google has moved lot of SQL handling from native to Java layer, which is different from Gingerbread. Since, many apps perform SQL operations at the beginning, it reduces the app start-up time
5. Graphics hardware acceleration is on for all applications from API level 14.
6. It has a customizable launcher
7. Ability to access apps directly from the lock screen
8. Built-in photo editor
9. Ability to automatically shut down the applications, which are using data in background

Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean
Android Jelly Bean is the newest OS launched on June 27, 2012. The primary aim of Jelly Bean was to improve the functionality & performance of UI. "Project Butter" was the main feature of the new OS, which used touch anticipation, extended vsync timing, triple buffering, and fixed time rate of 60fps for improved performance and more fluid & smooth UI. Here are a few more up gradations:
1. Bi-directional text & language support
2. Expandable notifications
3. User-installation keyboard maps
4. Bluetooth data transfer from Android Beam
5. Google Wallet
6. Multichannel audio
7. User can turn off the notification on the basis of specific application
8. Offline voice dictation
9. Replacement of Stock Android Browser with Android mobile version of Google Chrome

Google will soon be unveiling a new OS, Key Lime Pie, which will be more feature enabled and enhanced than the present OS. Similar to Android, Apple, RIM, & Windows Mobile also release updated versions of their OS to keep themselves at par with the competitors
