Learning to trade off of charts helps you not only in the stock market - but in looking at charts of anything. For example, there is a lot of value in being able to see the popularity of fanfiction.net as it broke out to a new all-time high in 2006. Maybe you could offer to invest or purchase the site at this point, or even make a 3-year contract for advertising. It moves just like a stock:

I think the chances are better than 20%

But what is the difference between “simulation” and “reality”? Does a simulation not happen in reality? Aren’t they the same thing, really?
And if I am inside a computer - so what? It is still real. It is happening. Whether inside a computer or not, it is still happening in reality.
Reality is just another name for the present.

Yesterday the Zimbabwe dollar had its largest one-day decline against the US dollar since the country’s independence from Britain in 1980. On the black market $1USD will get you Z$20,000,000. The official rate is Z$30,000 per $1USD.

The currency slumped to 20 million per dollar, from 6 million yesterday… Demand for foreign currency “has suddenly gone through the roof,” said Takesure Hove, who buys and sells currencies in an area of Harare traders call Wall Street. “Perhaps the central bank needs U.S. dollars to finance the election next month and they’re buying it through their people.

“With elections looming and budgets depleted two months into the year, it is inevitable that the Zimbabwe dollar will continue to slide and that the slide will become exponentially rapid,” Robertson said. “It’s been a general rule that whenever government has been in urgent need of foreign currency, the black market rate tumbles.”

“Even the very wealthy are surviving to a large extent on what vegetables they can grow in the gardens. This latest crash will destroy many people’s lives.”

Zimbabwe has the world’s highest inflation rate of 100,580 percent.
I’ve been selling pixels on The Million Zimbabwe Dollar Homepage based on the official rate - $0.03USD for 900 pixels. But this recent huge drop in the Zimbabwe currency has forced me to cut prices. I’m now selling 900 pixel blocks for US$0.01.
