My favorite is a game called Ticker Tycoon.
You can download a trial version for free, I think.

It help me get a basic understanding of "how" to trade in the stock market.
After playing the game over and over again, I begin to go back to those articles, information and afterwards have a better understand "about" the stock market, etc.
Next thing you know I was putting 2 and 2 together.
But that's just me.
I had begin learning from a game...LOL.
But since you're a beginner, don't expect to know everything about the stock market anytime soon.
It will take time.
Me still learning...LOL
Good luck.
That's good advice there. I started out with a stock simulator as well. Sometimes, even with quality materials that you read, you don't always really understand the lessons until you try it out on the simulator. Then, it starts to make more sense.

Of course, the reverse is also true where learning on the simulator can be very confusing until you read more about how to trade actively first.

So, in the end, you have to do both at the same time.

But I'm still learning too so....

I wonder why there is a rash of "stock trading" questions? In a saving advice site?
