This month, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange launched “Börsenspiel”, a competitive stock trading game aimed at attracting people who have never or only rarely traded stocks.
Virtual seed money of €50,000 ($67,000) will be deposited into a fictitious securities account “for speculating and investing”. Participants will receive a special dictionary and be sent “supporting background articles” on investing to help them get up to speed with the art of stock market investing.
