FYI this system has been shown to be highly accurate at predicting actual election outcomes.

Really interesting what Iowa does here. Would love to hear JC's opinion. It looks like they did a prospectus and tried to fall under the '34 Securities Act. Then they get a no action letter. Wonder if they have found a loophole that others could use. However it is my experience that if everyone does it forces regulators to examine and reverse its no-action letter.

You're trading the probability of a Bush win. The prices actually represent probabilities. I believe that the books actually look to these prices to set their lines.

Wow, I just noticed, I have two more posts to 500.:think:
