Trading Games And Simulations
Business schools often use computer software that simulates actual trading conditions in the stock markets and future commodities markets. These simulations are very useful to graduate students of these B-schools to illustrate some finance principles. As professors are fond of saying, it is better to commit investment mistakes using software simulators than make mistakes later on in the real business world where millions could be lost and jobs are at stake. Trading games and simulations will illustrate to students and novices alike the dangers of making hasty decisions without the loss of real money. But when they graduate and enter the workforce of the real world, mistakes they make will cost the jobs of employees under them and even their professional reputation as a good business manager or even as CEO.
