Virtual Trading
 

Hi everyone,
Here is a little "curiosity" I just found on the internet. The site is called tradesports.com .
You can trade all sorts of different events ( I guess it's similar to options trading).
One example: "Saddam Hussein NOT President of Iraq by End of March/April/May/June". It's actually quite interesting to see how the prices have evolved over several months. They really reflect the geopolitical situation. You will also see how the prices change to reflect that it is very unlikely that Saddam will be President by the end of June.
If that's not enough excitement for you, you can also trade on Democratic presidential nominees, and on when Osama Bin Laden will be captured/neutralized!!!
Apparently it is only fantasy that sets a limit to what events can be traded!
Anyway, I just thought it was interesting!
Best regards to everyone,
Fred
