So the business school at the university of iowa has created a "futures market" (operated just like a stock market) based on the outcomes/standings of political events/players. It is a real-money market that is open to the general public and operated by faculty at the university of iowa.... so basically you can buy stock for candidates at prices based on their current ratings...
heres some DEM market quotes (in dollars) as of 6PM CST today:
clinton .628
edwards .012
obama .383
just thought it was interesting.....
The shred has officially been reincarnated HERE. New functionality and expanded means of sharing ideas and media are available and continuing to be developed. Please send an email to Phil, Taka or Jason if you would like an invitation to the new playground. Namaste
