Practice investing without risking real money. Manage a mock stock portfolio and see how your portfolio management skills rank compared to others.
You’re good at picking stocks. You’re intelligent and have a unique point of view that should lead to better stock picking. Managing a mock stock portfolio on Xearn.com is an objective and scientific way of knowing how your performance will compare to a mutual fund, ETF or other investors.
Some people may suggest that ETFs and mutual funds perform better than the average investor. What if Warren Buffet believed that and did not try? Mock stock portfolios are a great way to find out how your portfolios are likely to perform without risking any real money.
A mock stock portfolio lets you learn from your investing mistakes without actually losing any money. You'll learn if you buy too early or too late, sell winners before you should or hold onto losers for too long. You'll know if you tend to focus too much on a few sectors, making your portfolio volatile. If someone offers you a free no risk trial period with your portfolio, wouldn't you accept it? A mock portfolio is the same. Even though you're giving up potential real profit, it's worth the effort.
You could even test different investment strategies. Maybe you have different theories on what will make the most money. Should you pick growth stocks, look for value or rely on dividends? Should you look at the fundamentals of a business or the price chart? Using mock portfolios will help you see how you perform with each strategy.
