Toro!! Don't dodge the bull market

Etoro got its start in 2007, and has since been called the "Zynga for men." Its goal is to make investing fun and social. The trading platform supports in commodity, currency, and index markets only.

There are two options to "socially investing" on Etoro: trading accounts and practice accounts.  A fringe benefit to having a trading account, weekly trading challenges where the winners receive reward bonuses(in cash).

Here's the kicker, Etoro offers not only in-house trading guides and tutorials on the website. It offers the ability to follow better performers, as well as ask more experienced traders for investment counsel.  The personal trading coaches (for beginners) and the personal account managers (for professionals) are also a nice touch in winning over potential users.

Etoro currently has 1.5million users, and employees spanning four different countries. There's nothing like making something as stressful and hair-pulling as investing, fun and social.
