I can beat the stock game by playing a different game, the Forex Exchange trading game. Also referred to as Forex, the Foreign Exchange market is where one country's currency is traded for another. I can buy 11000 Euro for $1000 while the exchange rate is at 1.1 Euros/Dollars. Then I can sell Euros back to Dollars for $1100 (and a nice $100 profit) if the exchange rate moves to 1 Euro/Dollar. I can say$100 may be nice but that 1% return on the $1000 doesn't sound like the path to my 500% return does it. With Forex, if I have $300 in my account I can control $10 000 trade and I realize that's making my money more powerful than the $1 - $1 control I get in the stock market.
