Stock IQ: Equity Game is a stock market simulation game, that simplifies your decision to 2 simple judgements - (a) What will the price of a stock be and (b) in what timeframe. In the real world, your decision to buy or sell a stock is based on this judgement/prediction, even though you may not be making it consciously.

This game boils down this prediction or judgement to a fun 2 tap play. When the play completes (market closes on the predicted day), the app sends you a notification if you got it right (Called it !) or not. Depending on how confident you are about a particular prediction you can allocate more or less virtual coins to each play. Get it right, you win more coins from a pool of coins from all players… but be careful, get it wrong and you could loose coins - Dont worry, its all virtual coins so you are not really risking much to get “educated” on the stock market.

Doesnt matter if you are a pro at the stock market or a newbie with no experience - with this game, you can learn to make the essential core decisions of buying and selling in a no-risk fun game play that takes a few seconds to play. Do it over a 3 to 12 month period and you will know everything you need to know about your stock market abilities.

Why did we build this game -
- To keep a record of what we thought about a stock, without messing with clumsy and time consuming spreadsheets.
- To have fun while keeping an eye on the stock market without losing money
- To gain confidence on our ability to judge if and when to buy or sell a stock
- Shadow the talking heads on CNBC, Bloomberg, Yahoo! Finance and decide which of them is simply a talking head and which of them gets it right regularly
- Take no risks, but learn and hone our stock market ability just playing.


To play the game, all you need to do is make 2 choices -

-Predict if a particular stock will be ‘higher than’ or ‘lower than’ a given price on a specified day and
- Assign virtual coins to your prediction - more coins if you are very confident, less if you are not.
All it takes is 2 taps.

When you get it right (Called it!), you WIN the virtual coins that others put in and got it wrong.

Have fun playing this stock market game -

- You will be able to track your ability to pick winning stocks and identify losing stocks, without losing any money in the stock market,
- You will be able to keep track of your favourite (or not) talking-head on CNBC/Bloomberg/Yahoo! Finance and fact check them over time
- Convince yourself (and your spouse/partner :) ) that you are ready to invest in the stock market or convince them that they not ready to invest in the stock market
