There was an interesting article in Newsweek about this very topic. I figured I would share.

It is called An Empire at Risk

Is this graph just the compilation of data from one point in the world. I assume from the anomaly, somewhere near Mt. Pinatubo?

Just curious but what is GPREDICT.COM ? It appears to be a mirror of Intrade.com, but I dunno. Could you shed some light on this?

Eh, i couldn't resist the temptation. I got back in around 75, looking to see it out to the end. Maybe 2 weeks, maybe 2 months. We will see. I am surprised it is trading so low right now though.

Yeah, I also wish that the laws would unmuddy themselves, it would be great for this website, and great for the markets.

Yes but the police already got the contents of those boxes from the storage area, so I am not so sure how important they were. I believe more information would have been released, even just the standard, "we just got a big break" kinda thing.

I took my profits, thanks for the fun.

I heard the vote could be as early as tomorrow, has anyone else got any information about that?

Could we get a contract on the Palin's divorcing?

Never been a fan of her.

*Edited to be a bit more tactful.

Are you trying to get yourself banned from the forum?

Really? REALLLY? A plant? Just because I am a Noob at Intrade does not mean I am stupid. I find your comments offensive and degrading, and you are just outright lying.

In my experience Netspend actually asked less information than any credit card I have opened. I gave my SSN and address. I didn't give my phone number, my DL number, none of that, all of which I have had to cough up for credit card applications. Now that I think about it, on credit cards i have also had to put mother's maiden name, security question up to 3X, previous residences, aliases, etc. None of that on Netspend.

A similar question . . .why is the number of users inflated so dramatically at the bottom of the forum page? It is currently 6:48 AM EST and there are 13 registered users which makes sense. But it also registers 13 thousand and some odd "guests". Could someone clarify where all those people are, or is that a glitch, or am I mistaken and there really are that many page hits at 7am?

They do it everyday in NY at the UN. The US is the most secure country when it comes to that kind of thing anywhere.

I am not 100% sure of this, but futures can be anywhere from 1 to 3 months. I believe those bids are on the oil that is coming out of the ground right now, so you have to calculate shipping time via tanker across the Atlantic or Pacific.
