First thoughts were, why should I submit these ideas or stocks. Why should I really trust people's advice based on karma? I would rather see people ranked by the accuracy of their predictions.

Perhaps when you submit a stock or vote on one during the week it could record the current price and after a few days your karma points are based on the new price of the stock.

I also think you should have links to the stock price. I'm too lazy to type in all the ticker names into google.

Yeah, this might work better in prediction market form, where people get rep points after their prediction has come true.

I agree, and virtual trading is in the works, which will likely carry more reputation weight than karma.

http://stocktwits.com with this would be great.

I like StockTwits, but the information seems to be all over the place. My goal was to make opportunities easier to find, as well a bit of enhanced research by crowdsourcing.

The incentive for submitting ideas is to get other perspectives and information to take into consideration when making a decision. I often have a gut feel about a certain stock direction, but would like to hear how others feel about it. That's an interesting idea for the karma. Currently, like HN it's based on upvotes from others, except there is no karma awarded just for submissions. Great idea about posting the current stock price next to the titles. I'll look into it. Thanks!
