Hollywood Stock Exchange

Let’s say you’ve been spending too much time moving your money around the stock market, and you’re looking for something with the same thrill but without the financial risks. A stock exchange, sort of, but not a real one. Forget about trading AT&T and Johnson & Johnson, and start trading movie stars, like Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. Billed as an “entertainment stock market simulation,” Hollywood Stock Exchange allows you to trade “MovieStocks” (for actual films) and “StarBonds” (for anyone from blockbuster actors to newcomers). The site—a game, and a truly sophisticated one—looks and acts like a real stock market, even if you’re trading only in virtual millions.
