ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION:
The BUSINESS METHOD FOR GAME BASED STOCK TRADING makes it possible to combine a real stock broker and a virtual trading game that is based upon real stock market conditions into one business model, thus leveraging the skill, experience, research ability, insight and resourcefulness of best in class Virtual Traders to automatically direct the real trading strategies of opt-in participants of On-Line Trading, by maintaining a state called “mirroring” between a selected virtual trading champion and a real stock trader, such that the percentage of said champion’s “total virtual worth” that is fictitiously invested within each and every stock within said game is the same percentage of said real trader’s “total real worth” (all stock holdings or other equity controlled by said real stock broker on behalf of said real trader) that is invested within said each and every stock within reality.
(This abstract is within a provisional application, is merely exemplary and non-limiting, and reads on one possible example embodiment of the present invention; as such it should not be construed to limit the scope of any non-provisional utility patent that may be subsequently based thereon.)
