Sixty seconds.
One stock. Up or down.
The daily stock-prediction game. Each weekday, one ticker. Call it before the close. See your points, your streak, and where you sit on the leaderboard the moment the market closes.
Sixty seconds a day. That's the whole game.
Three screens. One result. Built so a serious analyst can play it in a coffee break and a newcomer can play it from the train.
Open before the bell
One ticker. From a rotation of 100 — Apple, Tesla, JPMorgan, SPY, the Bitcoin ETFs, the names that move.
Call it
Up or down. Safe, Normal, or Bold. Optionally call a price range for bonus points. Lock by 4pm ET.
See the close
Points hit instantly. Streak bonus rolls over to tomorrow. Your rank moves in front of you.
Easy to play. Hard to game.
Four levers under the hood. They reward people who think before they tap.
The Bold multiplier doubles your points when you're right — and doubles the hit when you're wrong. Safe halves both. Pick the conviction that matches your read, not the one that feels brave.
Every consecutive correct call multiplies tomorrow's score. Break the streak and the multiplier resets — so the game gets harder the better you do, which is the point.
Hit milestones — a 5-streak, a perfect week, beating the analyst — to unlock cards you can spend on tougher calls.
The optional move for the analytically inclined. Pin a range and earn extra points if the close lands inside. Wider band, smaller bonus.
Watch your rank move while the market does.
Leaderboards run live during market hours. Your rank shifts on every tick. After the close, the day, week, month and all-time boards refresh together.
- 1v1 friend battles. Send a link. Lock the same ticker. Best of 5, 10, or a full week.
- Public + private boards. Office desk. Newsletter chat. Family group. Make as many as you want.
- Monthly prizes. Recognition for top performers — small awards, big bragging rights. Not the headline; we play for points.
The analysts play too. And show their work.
Every day, an analyst from The Investment Analyst publishes their own call inside the app. Reasoning stays hidden until 4pm — same rules as you. After the close, it's all there: thesis, setup, what they missed.
- Beat the analyst on a call and unlock a wildcard.
- Follow individual analysts and see their hit-rate by sector.
- The full TIA platform is a separate, paid product — not pitched in the game.
Hyperscaler capex commentary lands at midday and last week's pullback cleaned up positioning. Setup into earnings still well-bid, but a hot CPI print would change the tape — hence Normal, not Bold. Range is tight because dealer gamma keeps us pinned.
Read your own tape. Every Friday at 5.
A weekly read-out lands the moment the market closes on Friday. Hit-rate by sector, by confidence, by day of the week — the kind of post-mortem analysts run on themselves.
The seven questions that actually come up.
Is it free?
Real money?
Where do the tickers come from?
What happens if I miss a day?
Do I have to know finance?
What about The Investment Analyst itself?
When can I play tomorrow's call?
