Join the New Prediction Market for Skype Q2 results
We saw Skype's Q1 results from the eBay conference call. What about Skype's performance next quarter?
I've set up a free prediction market at Inkling to answer that question. By buying and selling with pretend currency, we can collectively make a better guess than any one of us alone. One of those "wisdom of crowds" things.
"How will Skype perform at eBay's Q2 2007 Earnings Call in July?" is trading in six predictions:
We'll settle them by the Q2 2007 eBay investor conference call.
Initial guesstimates are 500 million downloads, 230 million Skype names, 10 million simultaneous, 8 billion Skype-to-Skype minutes, 1.5 SkypeOut minutes, and 85 million revenue.
Buy if you think the numbers will be higher, based on what you know.
Sell if you think the numbers will be lower.
Your trades will adjust for new realities as we learn more in May and June about:
- Skype's marketing efforts (pushing up new accounts),
- major new product releases (pushing up downloads), and
- customer adoption of Skype phones that don't need need PCs (so they are always on and push up simultaneous user stats).
eBay, PayPal and Skype personnel: please don't trade. All others are welcome.
