Show HN: Fantasy Sports for Stocks
- Vraxx 11y agoThe idea looks fun to mess around with and I imagine the price is right for playing, it doesn't get much better than free + prizes. This could also be fun in letting out some tendencies to want to play the stock market without actually putting anything on the line. Just as a separate note, your video and motto sound very reminiscent of gambling or lottery advertisements. I don't necessarily mean to call this a problem, but the juxtaposition of "playing" the stock markets with the same sales pitch as the lottery tickled my funny bone. If you intended that then A+!
- stockpools 11y agoThanks a lot for the feedback! We'll take it to note.
- slaxman 11y agoFantasy Noob here. How does it work? Also how are you able to give prizes when registration is free?
- stockpools 11y agoWe mimic the concept of traditional fantasy sports; you assemble a roster of players (although in our case, they are stocks) and compete that portfolio against the performance of others'. If your overall roster performance is higher than the competition, you win cash prizes. We're able to pay out because of our profitable advertising model. Some of the companies listed use our site to gain exposure for their stock, in an organic, exploratory way.
