Signing up and publishing random price targets gives you a 1% chance of being a top 1% analyst :)
Relevant XKCD:
https://xkcd.com/525/
- i ll give you an even better idea
- find all the YT videos that talk about trading
- find all their predictions and the time on their video when the prediction was made along with the stock
- find today s time and evaluate whether the prediction was good or bad and how much profit / loss in percentage
- create a coinmarketcap type website of all YT channels sorted in descending order of how many good / bad predictions and percentage gain / loss etc
- would be a wild freaking website and the idea could be extended further to blogs
Man this looks incredibly ripe for abuse. I don't know how, particularly, just that policing this will be tough because the intensity of interest in gaming/cheating such a platform will be overwhelming.
Acknowledge that a platform like this will be a target for gaming. Please try to break it and tell me how you did it.
