The emotions of winning and losing are exactly the same in poker and the stock market. The difference is that you can play poker 24 hours a day 7 days a week. You can also play very small in poker, for pennies. But I am noticing a lot of the emotions are very similar, there were a couple timeshttp://www.max5.com/2009/10/working-on-my-poker-playing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Gordon Gekko)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17637471.post-6452365657135336776Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:35:00 +00002009-10-17T13:35:52.115-07:00Still trying another site, still looking for a place to paper trade.www.ptrades.com - just signed up for this one and they trade futures, it's also a fantasy futures exchange, not sure what that means, maybe that the prices are not the same as the real world.https://www.wallstreetsurvivor.com/ I remember signing up for this site before, but I can't remember if it was any good or not?found my old http://www.max5.com/2009/10/more-paper-trading-sites.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Gordon Gekko)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17637471.post-256380920406928885Sat, 17 Oct 2009 18:46:00 +00002009-10-17T11:46:25.770-07:00Signed up for http://simulator.investopedia.com their simulator charges $29 per trade.
