In their own words

"Tipping Monkey is about education and social engagement among individual investors who want to become a better investing. Successful investing is not about following other people's stock picks, but being able to generate trade ideas and make solid trading decisions based on experience and sound judgment. Our powerful trading simulator is simple enough for beginners to learn, and for seasoned investors to try their hand at managing a virtual hedge fund using advanced techniques such as derivatives, spreads and other combinations.

Social networking and collective intelligence remains a key role in user involvement and education. Tipping Monkey provides an environment where users can freely roam about the site and look at activities of other members, such as their current holdings, recent trades, and what stocks they are watching on their watch lists. To keep the competitive spirits up, each user portfolio also receives a ranking in our system so they know how they stack up against other members throughout the trading day."
