Estimize Takes Stock Gamification One Step Further With Challenges

estimizeEstimize is a startup trying to discover the true "whisper number" of public stocks not just the official analyst consensus, but what Wall Street really believes. To make that happen, it's encouraging investors to post their own estimates and they're getting a little more incentive starting today, thanks to the new Estimize Challenges.CEO and co-founder Leigh Drogen previously worked at social finance startup StockTwits, where his roles included product manager and media director. Drogen says he first had the idea for Estimize there he sees it as the quantitative flip side to the conversations that you find on StockTwits. So each quarter, Estimize members can post their guesses for a company's earnings per share and revenue. Then you can see the aggregate prediction of the Estimize community, as well as current and past predictions for individual users.
