It is aimed toward IT Professionals and computer specialists everywhere and includes humor and trivia that mostly only those with a geeky bent will get.

I’ve been looking for a virtual stock market game to play for quite some time. I wanted something like a fantasy football of the stock market. In my search I had only found systems with a paid subscription model. I even found full stock market simulators that were based on fake stocks and made-up companies. Recently I found a free, web-based stock market simulator that actually has the chance to pay you for playing (more on that later); UpDown matched all the things I was looking for and had some other features that made it even more interesting. I always figured it’d be fun and give me some practice for real world investing. Plus in today’s economy, why not play with virtual money instead of risking real money.
