I just launched on Saturday and have already had more than 10,000 trades "executed". Your comments are much appreciated. (Note: if you think reading stock charts is a bunch of crackpot hooey, feel free to flame.)

I do think that reading stock charts is a bunch of hooey, but I will withhold from flaming. If you could expand this site to allow people an easy web 2.0 method of back-testing alternative trading strategies (or even just portfolios), it would make me happy.

Where are EPS and Beta? I'd love to see them added to the app.

wooo enough for the leaderboard in a few minutes.

Anyway, create an API and a bot competition! Don't give the link, and use a timer and required open source to discourage cheating (still can't eliminate it, ah well.)

EDIT: Oh man! your score isn't saved if you make an account. I would be in second place.

Very cool. It's sort of Hot or Not for stocks. I would suggest showing just a small summary and graph of previous trade below the current total so you can get rid of the New Trade button and have the Buy/Skip/Sell buttons and chart for the next stock imediately available on the result page. That way users can just click Buy/Sell/Skip to move from page to page.
