Sharewise
Sharewise is a Web 2.0 - online community for shares and a financial portal and social network .
Stock recommendations
Registered users can make buy and sell recommendations for all shares traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange . In contrast to classic forums such as Ariva , Wall Street: online or Aktienboard.com, it is made clear whether the recommendations made are actually being received. The same applies to financial analyzes by professional analysts, which are automatically entered into the system. From this, a reliability index (skill level) and the average return of each user and analyst are calculated and a ranking list of the best tipsters is created. Around 130,000 recommendations from over 100,000 members are currently being evaluated. It can also be seen whether the recommendation outperformed the benchmark STOXX Europe 600 in the same period.
While stock market games focus primarily on the individual player's portfolio, sharewise is increasingly relying on the power of the community - how many members and analysts recommend a share, where do they see the average target price , and so on. This facilitates the identification of mood swings and trend changes by the "Wisdom of the crowds" principle ( The Wisdom of Crowds ).
Based on the best Sharewise users (“best of crowd”), sharewise offered an equity fund called H&A sharewise Community Fonds until it was closed on September 29, 2015 . However, it only achieved below-average results during its term.
Stock exchange whispers
The stock exchange ticker stock exchange whisper is also based on Web 2.0. Here users can create their own stock market news and rate them in a Digg- like manner. The ticker is fully Twitter compatible, which means that you can write a message and receive the latest news not only via the sharewise website, but also via Twitter.
Catch the monkey
The stock market game Catch the monkey is supposed to test the monkey theory of Burton Malkiel , who in his book "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" makes the claim that it is (analogously) wiser to let a monkey choose stocks by throwing a dart than professional ones Trust analysts.
