I’ve often wondered how the stock market worked. I played it a little in college and learned how to study companies. Likewise, Internet stock-trading hot-shot E*trade.com had a stock trading simulator that my family played when they first launched (I’m dating myself: I was in high school when E*Trade launched). My mom and sister and I played the E*trade stock market simulator with a wager: Winner doesn’t have to wash dishes for a week. I don’t remember who won, but I sure remember playing.

WeSeed is filling this gap now–and using common stocks and real-time info to teach users with a “virtual portfolio” (complete with “virtual money”) to show users how the Stock Market works.

I encourage you to give it a try!

This is post 11 of a 30 day series for Financial Literacy Month. This series is running a little-late as I decided to start it midway through the month of April, so it will continue into early May.
