Stocu.com Invites You to Play the Stock Market
SAN JOSE, Calif., July 21 -- After a two month run in closed beta and having gathered about 2,200 registered users, Stocu.com will open to the public today. Initially dubbed a "stock picking game for fame," the site has evolved into a social network where users are able to predict where stocks will close, discuss the market, follow their favorite users, and track their personal Stocu stats. Currently, the top ranked Stocu user has 1,129 followers, a prediction accuracy of 68.39%, and a return rate of 476.09%.

For market professionals, Stocu offers an opportunity to share knowledge with a fast-growing community, rapidly gain dedicated followers, and promote personal blogs or publications. Meanwhile, for those less familiar with the market, the site offers an engaging forum where users can read news and opinions posted by trusted fellow users, pose questions, and track their own learning progress based on their stats. But best of all, whether you're a Wall Street pro or a stock market beginner, all users can challenge themselves to climb the community ranks to become recognized Stocu experts, and without ever losing a penny.
While many finance websites focus primarily on delivering market news and quotes, Stocu provides more rich and diverse content in the form of user generated posts, comments, and predictions. And between this dynamic feed of information created by the community, and the unique game-like qualities of the site's stock predicting feature, Stocu is able to offer individual investors, traders, and stock enthusiasts an engaging and informative environment where they can truly play the market.
