In my son's economics class they tried to play that game, he kept coming home all excited about the fake money he's made day trading in the stock market for the class. Then one of the investments he heavily invested in, he forgot to look at for a weekend, took a nose dive and he lost everything. Glad it was fake money.
Now he wants to buy Nvidia... kid doesn't have a job and is about to go off to college and wants to put what little money he has in the stock market. Kids are stupid.
Sounds like a smart kid. Investing is important unless you are counting on SSI. NVIDIA mc is 3Trillion so I think its a bit high but who knows. Tesla would be a better start for him.
You gamble when you wake up in the morning and go to work.
