If you want to learn about stocks and shares with little financial commitment, then come and join us. We take a light-hearted approach to the subject. Members choose one or two stocks, keep them for two months maximum, then change. A virtual small sum goes into the kitty, then the member with the largest virtual profit in 9 months wins the kitty. |
