Boehner to go - 1 year ago
Boehner represents the sort of person that Trump is having a go at ie washington boys who do nothing. If Trump does well in the first few primaries I think Bush and others will want some sort of statement that things can chnage in washinton without Trump ie Boehner will resign or be overthrown once 3 primaries have been held if trump does well in them. the stock would be ; Boehner will noby whoknows - New Stock Ideas
Re: bitcoin - 1 year ago
This week has seen a major shift in mood. There are always lots of "external" things that happen that move the price of bitcoin around but now we have an "internal" issue that may move the price. Its a little technical but the way bitcoin works may change. It may stay the same but changes may occur if a certain number of people directly involved with running bitcoin wanby whoknows - Unusual Stock Discussion
Trump to stand as an independent - 1 year ago
If Trump starts to fall in the polls over time as is expected and he considers he will not get the republican nomination he could still stand as an independent - a prospect he has kept open even in the much watched televised first debate.by whoknows - New Stock Ideas

we need some trump stocks the republican convention is july 2016 so perhaps a stock that he announces he has retired from the 2016 race in time blocks eg before 1 jan 2016 jan -mar 2016 april- may 2016 june 2016 july 2016 never there is chance knowing trump that he may never actually formally resign ie make a specifc annoucement even if he starts to have no chnace so it should also beby whoknows - New Stock Ideas
Re: Colin Craig's leadership - 1 year ago
Hi Admin before i put money on this stock can you just clarify what you see his current position is. I read that he is not the current leader as he has been sacked by the party chairman. however I also interpret some of Craigs mutterings as essentiallly that the chairman was not technically able to sack him. the stock ends in a months time and i see it likely that whatever status Craig haby whoknows - New Stock Ideas

yes I would put money into this stock. while politicans never ever want give up the "power' some seem to realise when it is time to bow tie out. he needs to retire and write his autobiography especially on the events surrounding the newspaper reporter (if he called it "fifty shades of white forelock" we would all buy a copy.by whoknows - New Stock Ideas

bitcoin - 1 year ago
These stocks close in 6 months time (1 jan 2016). Bitcoin went below $300US at the beginning of the year . It had been dropping since a high of about $1000 in November 2003. It has been discovered that the sharp rise to that $1000 was due to manipulation in the biggest exchange at that time (MT GOX). So it was always going to come way down but nobody had any idea where the new "bottom' mby whoknows - Unusual Stock Discussion
uber/taxis and cameras - 1 year ago
The stock is to close 1 july 2016. there has been to date ie 28 June 2015 no indication when the review will be finished nor when any changes might be in place nor exactly whether or not the current camera situation will change below is the latest reported info. it is not clear what "light handed "means but since the stock covers taxis not having to have cameras ie the stoby whoknows - Unusual Stock Discussion
forums for unusual stocks - 1 year ago
hi not sure if this is the right place to suggest this but this is the subforum most viewed so there should be some feedback on the idea from others to help admin decide whether or not to do it. the idea is that where a stock is about something unusual that this site sets up a place for each of these stocks where people who have some knowledge/interest of the topic can post links to relevantby whoknows - New Stock Ideas
prediction markets as a stock - 1 year ago
using blockchains to do lots of things is all the rage. it even extends to setting up prediction markets that are not typically operated as ipredict is ie locally and with restrictions (often imposed by the relevant local approval authority or mandate). there is now an entity called augur - see links. most of these startups will die for a host of reasons. so why not have a stock predictingby whoknows - New Stock Ideas
uber vs taxi - 1 year ago
NZTA are under some pressure to do something about the uneven playing field between uber and traditonal taxis. I suggest By 1 July 2016 NZTA will either make cameras in uber and uber like operators compulsory (or no longer make cameras compulsory for taxi operators). Publishing on their website would be proof. note: there are several other changes they could make as well but this oneby whoknows - New Stock Ideas
Re: Island Bay Cycleway - 2 years ago
not so sure the full cycle way was ever feasible for lots of reasons so for the stock to work you might just need to have it on the island bay to berhampore shops part. however have you seen what they are going with the lyall bay cycle way that uses sewer reserve land!. Incrediably they are building flat speed hump type structures across all the roads so it is easy for bikes to ride across. coby whoknows - New Stock Ideas
different options for bitcoin - 2 years ago
I have been away from the forum for some months and on return was pleased to see a bitcoin stock was finally here. However it is rather tame. Bitcoin has essentially 2 ways to go - either to a USD figure of below $100 or really climb ie $500,$1000, $5000. its recent level of $400-$200 is simply the results of people selling out after the gox debacle and does not indicate longer term price levelsby whoknows - New Stock Ideas
how does it work - 2 years ago

Re: first, second and third - 2 years ago
Hi andrew34 thanks for the info. assuming then robertson does not win over the hearts of the unions he will always be in the 30-40% total vote range. little would do much better in union votes etc than jones and it then would be mostly at the expense of cunliffe. so as i see it all 3 'candidates' could get 30-40%. ie a close race. ideal then for a 'combo'by whoknows - New Stock Ideas

Re: Transmission gully to go over budget - 2 years ago
it is a good idea but difficult to measure. often large construction projects have a range of escalation clauses in them and various twists eg the $850 million may be in 2013 dollars so by the time its finished even if on budget it will be more than that in the dollars of the day. also if it is a public private partnership where builder is also involved the "end "price' he charges mayby whoknows - New Stock Ideas

Don't give up all hope Shazza. Ipredict were given the licence to operate on the basis that they would provide an alternative source of information especially on political stocks (to the polls) at election time.

Re: Highest vote between Internet Mana and Conservatives - 2 years ago
Yes count me in. As of today (15 July) conservatives are at 4.1% and Internet/Mana 2.1% but i think they are much closer than than that - and both have big advertising budgets to be unleashed on us all so it is going to be a ding donger. also two party race type stocks might also shed some more light on the individual stocks which are far more open (as in cheaper) to manipulate by the partyby whoknows - New Stock Ideas
Re: Highest vote between Internet Mana and Conservatives - 2 years ago
yes i would go for that stock would also go for stocks where the margin is involved eg where stocks are Internet Mana will get 1%, 2.5%, 5% 10% etc more than Conservatives (and the other way around ie Internet Mana will get 1%,2.5%,5%,10% etc less than the Conservatives)by whoknows - New Stock Ideas

Hi 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 stocksby whoknows - Ask A Question
