Even if you're not into the whole investing thing just yet, you can still pretend you've got a multi-million dollar portfolio at any one of the various investing sites, such as MSN Investor. Setup your own portfolio with stock in companies that you favor or think will virtually make you loads of cabbage. Using these online portfolios is also a great way to learn about investing and picking stocks without actually risking your hard-earned lunch money. Just for grins, you could even hold office competitions to see who can make the most money. Some investment clubs use this sort of thing for studying stocks and market trends before they put forth the dough or make changes in their holdings. I'm richer than Bill Gates on paper... or so says my MSN Investor portfolio anyway.
