If you haven't heard of Pricing Political Risks, read this article. http://bpp.wharton.upenn.edu/jwolfers/Press/SIEPR%20policy%20brief.htm
Its a long read, so to sum it up.....
It's a political stock market, and has been proven pretty reliable.
Using www.intrade.com and marking only the states with a financial future of 50+ percent I went to the EV calculator and came up with this .....
It has our President leading with 290, Kerry with 248.
I did it this morning after voting (I actually had NO waiting to vote ) because of my frustration with polls.
Tell me what you think? It will be interesting to see how close I came to what actually happens.

I pretty much agree with you. So if we have egg on our faces ( andwe won't) we'll share a washcloth. |
