Actually, the Bloomberg terminal is probably the greatest gamification of the Stock Market since its inception. It gives a sense of control and "live information" akin to any First-Person Shooter or even something more arcane (like Dwarf Fortress). Technical Analysis is just a way of trying to play and win, with no relation to the real world. But with a sense of control. And, of course, the huge amount of data is hooking.
