If I'm reading the contracts correctly, should either a PP or PSOE prime minister be elected following a second election, that would cause the contract to close at $1, since the contract is defined in terms of the constitutional appointment of a prime minister rather than the outcome of any particular election.

Is my interpretation correct?]]> maxb Ask A Question Tue, 05 Jan 2016 16:13:58 +1300 /forum/read.php?20,34812,34812#msg-34812 /forum/read.php?20,34812,34812#msg-34812 maxb Ask A Question Wed, 23 Dec 2015 22:54:53 +1300 /forum/read.php?20,34700,34700#msg-34700 /forum/read.php?20,34700,34700#msg-34700 tooplel Ask A Question Sat, 07 Nov 2015 14:07:45 +1300 /forum/read.php?20,34699,34699#msg-34699 /forum/read.php?20,34699,34699#msg-34699 The_Doctor Ask A Question Sat, 07 Nov 2015 14:14:41 +1300 /forum/read.php?20,34333,34333#msg-34333 /forum/read.php?20,34333,34333#msg-34333
I've got a few questions on the allocation of stocks (in particular, ones that aren't part of a bundle):

How does stock allocation work for stocks that aren't in a bundle?

How many stocks are initially allocated and at what price?

Is the allocation ever increased during the life of the stock?

Are all the buy and sell offers only from other members or are some from iPredict itself?

Why don't you show how many total stocks a prediction has allocated?]]> AztecKnight Ask A Question Thu, 17 Sep 2015 01:48:43 +1200 /forum/read.php?20,34258,34258#msg-34258 /forum/read.php?20,34258,34258#msg-34258 www.mbie.govt.nz]

But the 21 August stock has closed and there is no update to the website spreadsheet (as at 12:04pm 24 August 2015) Is there another source that I am unaware of that the closure is based on?

"By way of example, the event in the development of the FTA between New Zealand and China which would have caused an equivalent contract to close at $1 was the signing ceremony in April 2008 reported at [www.chinadaily.com.cn] and not the subsequent ratication processes which, in the case of New Zealand, are described at [www.chinafta.govt.nz];

Now that the negotiations have been concluded, the FTA will next go through a legal verification and translation process, before it can be signed.]]> thedoctor Ask A Question Sat, 15 Nov 2014 17:06:36 +1300 /forum/read.php?20,33014,33014#msg-33014 /forum/read.php?20,33014,33014#msg-33014 maxb Ask A Question Fri, 22 Aug 2014 08:08:01 +1200 /forum/read.php?20,32998,32998#msg-32998 /forum/read.php?20,32998,32998#msg-32998 Patzcuaro1 Ask A Question Sun, 17 Aug 2014 09:24:57 +1200 /forum/read.php?20,32975,32975#msg-32975 /forum/read.php?20,32975,32975#msg-32975

If a candidate is entered on nomination day, they are considered to be the candidate on nomination day. If they were to die, and yet win the seat on election day, a by-election would be held. Likewise if they were to "stand down" or "retire". Effectively they cannot retire after nomination day and before the election.

Therefore I would argue that the stock on possible retirements could close once we know who was nominated. If McCully, King or anyone else "retires" after that then it will make no difference.]]> thedoctor Ask A Question Mon, 14 Jul 2014 12:22:14 +1200 /forum/read.php?20,32894,32894#msg-32894 /forum/read.php?20,32894,32894#msg-32894

I have looked at the chart for the stock LEADER.LAB.CUNLIFFE (Cunliffe to be Labour leader on nomination day).

if i hover the mouse over the the price chart it reads to me that 50 stocks were able to be purchased for just $0.001 at 13.16.22.

the stock though is generally trading high ie $0.80 plus

the volume graph though indicates at or around the same period (13.22.21) 91 stocks at $0.9987 were traded.

Was someone really able to buy 50 stocks for peanuts and instantly make $40 or more dollars depending on what they can or did sell them for? if so how does this come about?

I have a few questions on the basics:

How many shares are available for each prediction?
When a new prediction starts, what price does it start at? 50c?

I can't see anywhere that explains how the share price is determined, but assume it varies as trades are made so that when a prediction closes the people expecting a prediction to close for $1 are balanced off by those expecting it to close for 0c.ie it is a zero sum game. Could someone confirm if that's how it works?

Let's say I shorted one stock at 0.2000 which means 0.8000 is deducted from my cash.

I know that when I cover the stock later at, for example, 0.0500, then 0.9500 is added to my cash which gives me a profit of 0.1500.

This is all good.

What I don't understand is why, if I have one shorted stock at 0.2000, and the last price is showing as 0.2000 (i.e. no change), the value is showing as 0.8000?

In what way is this shorted stock increasing my worth by 0.8000?

Thanks,
