I disagree. That's like saying play the free online poker tables to get ready for mid-limit money tables.

Paper trading is an important aspect of learning the trading/investing game. I highly recommend that anyone just starting out and wanting to get a feel for what its like to put money to work in the market setup an account on marketocracy.com

Its a very simple way to get a feel for market volatility, among other things.

It does not compare to play money poker tables, where your opponents play very differently. Though, play money poker tables can be useful to a complete beginner, in learning the process of the game.
