If you’re raring to have a go at stock trading but you don’t know a thing about it, start learning with a free stock market game online application. A stock simulator, is an online program or client application that duplicates some aspects of a live trading so you can practice it without the risk. There are basically two kinds of these online applications. Read on and know more about these games.

These are the financial and the fantasy stock game simulators. A free online application allows you to generate a portfolio based on real stock entries, but using play money.

All of the current active financial game applications, or stock simulators, use a delayed data feed to ensure that the information and date may not be used to do actual stock trading using these information. Most American stock sites run on such a system; their games run on a delayed ticker their systems may not abused for illegal gain.

Some stock market game online applications are also designed specifically for study, either as part of the syllabus program, or as additional instruction. These are targeted especially for business students who may be interested in taking up stock trading as a career.

A fantasy free stock market game application, or fantasy simulator, is another type that you can use to get used to the experience of stock trading. But unlike financial free stock market game applications, fantasy simulators work on a different level.

Fantasy free game applications feature fantasy (Read: Unreal and imaginary) stocks that represent real items which, however, would never be traded in the real trading setting. Some items being traded in fantasy game applications would include longevity of certains books on the bestseller list, success of certain movies at the box office, antics of infamous celebrities, band breakups, and more.

There are even some game applications that cater to sports fans. These items are not real trading commodities. Instead, what fantasy free stock market game applications do is show how the principles involved in an actual stock trading setting may work. By making use of analogy, this type of free stock market game application is an ideal way for anyone with no background in trading, to be able to understand how the stock market works. Especially in fantasy free stock market game applications because these often use items that are familiar to a lot of people.

The purpose behind such a system is to let you practice stock trading with play money in a real-world stock market scenario. One of the many ready applications of the experience you can gain from game applications is being armed with the knowledge of stock trading, thus, enabling you to know more about what your broker is talking about. Who knows, by learning the ropes of stock trading with a free stock market game online application, you might even be able to do direct stock investing yourself.

The World Trade Center was attacked once in 1993 when the government of the United States had won its indirect war against Russia and decided to leave a communist government there rather than a government ruled by Islamic Jihadists who had expelled Russia in the first place. The attacks were blamed on the Mujahideen and with that the affiliation of America with them ended to the world. On the ninth of September, four planes were hijacked and headed for specific targets on American soil. Two of them hitting the world trade centre, one crashing into the Pentagon and one crash landed in Shanksville.

Everyone was shocked after seeing the video clips. It was all blamed on Al-Qaeeda and they took responsibility. It was supposed to be simple and we all got emotional. A war on terror was declared and two countries were attacked by us. But as people cooled down, different theories came into being; showing that it all was not as straightforward as it looked. The number of facts or theories that the conspiracy theorists present just cannot be neglected.

BBC’s report on September 18th that the former foreign ministry secretary was told by senior American officials in mid June that the US was planning to attack Afghanistan in October that year and NORAD (America’s air defence department) not being able to shoot down the planes are facts that lead some conspiracy theorists to think that the government had foreknowledge of the attacks, yet they went silent to give them an excuse to launch an assault on Afghanistan and control a very strategic location in the region close to it’s arch enemies. Other theories are related to how the WTC towers fell is also very interesting. As many constructional engineers regard the way the building collapse to be impossible to achieve by crashing planes into it. A chemical professor of an American university claims that hints of small micro chip bombs were found in the dust caused by the collapse of the buildings. The crash into the Pentagon building is also disputed as theorists claim that it is impossible for such a huge commercial plane to leave so little an impact in the building, in fact they say that a missile was used to do the damage. BBC also released the identities of the hijackers before any formal announcement by the CIA was made, which also lead to the doubts of the government already being in the knowledge about them. Osama bin Laden has only admitted responsibility in one tape till this day that tape too is challenged because of doubts about its authenticity.

Many different theories exist but the answer may or may not be one of the following: Al Qaeda, The American Government, or the most probable of all that the Government knew about it but never reacted and let it happen.
