If you’re anything like me and get excited over numbers, I have a site for you. It’s called Trendio. It works like this…
It’s like a stock market situation. However instead of buying shares in companies, you buy shares in news headlines around the world. If a breaking story occurs and that particular headline is published all over the place, the share price of that headline increases. The more people have bought into that headline, the higher the stock price.
For example, the Bollywood bombshell and recent winner of Celebrity Big Brother in the UK, Shilpa Shetty is in the news. At an AIDS Awareness Event, a smitten Richard Gere hugged and kissed Shilpa on stage.
Well this has caused a huge controversy in India - one of the worlds biggest countries. So headlines in India and around the world are full of Shilpa Shetty and Richard Gere.
At Trendio, I bought a bunch of shares on Shilpa’s name and let it sit and…BANG! It went through the roof! Now of course this money is worth nothing in real life but it’s a buzz to play. Lot’s of strategies to learn and if anything, hey at least it keeps you up to date on what’s happening in the world. I didn’t even know who Shilpa was! Maybe I should have put money on Richard Gere also…
To try it all out and have some fun, here is the link.
