From today’s The Note:
Leave it to PBS to go and try to keep the nomination fight interesting. Take a look at the just-launched Presidential Futures Market and track whether a candidate’s stock is up or down, and buy or sell shares in the contenders. The winner, with the highest-valued portfolio, gets a trip to the inauguration. And even those who don’t win get a little practice at the skills it’d take to manage their privatized Social Security accounts.
I’ll have to take a refresher course in short selling and join in, I suppose. Meanwhile, if you’re interested in wagering real money, the Iowa Electronic Markets offers futures markets on the 2004 election.
