Can we have contracts on each of the 4 new flag options please.

Re: South Carolina Primary - 1 year ago

On reflection including O'Malley, Webb & Chafee in Other as you have done in New Hampshire seems like a good idea. None of them have got much traction and the liquidity would be better in Other.

South Carolina Primary - 1 year ago

It would be interesting to have contracts on the South Carolina primaries for both Democrats & Republicans as this will be the first primary in the South. The first two contests in Iowa & New Hampshire both have a predominately white demographic. Democrats: Clinton, Sanders, O'Malley, Webb, Chafee, Biden & Other Republicans: Bush, Walker, Rubio, Cruz, Kasich, Trump, Florina, Car

Re: US Swing States - 1 year ago

Unless there is a compelling reason for bundling stocks most election stocks could be reduced to one contract per electorate. For example Helensville could be " National to retain Helensville" or " Democrats to retain US Presidency" etc

Iowa Caucus & New Hampshire Primary - 1 year ago

How about contracts on who will win Democrat & Republican caucuses in Iowa and primary in New Hampshire. The following are in the Republican field: Walker, Bush, Paul, Rubio, Cruz, Christie, Carson, Huckabee, Fiorina, Perry, Santorum, Graham & Kasich. Democrats are: Clinton, Warren, Sanders, Biden, O'Malley, Chafee & Webb.

Don't quite know why the smiley face is there.

Re: Gold 1st feb closure required - 2 years ago

I think that the contract is straight forward, it will close based on the "am" fix on the day specified. If there is no fix on the 1st of the month it will close based on the most recent fix, usually the last "pm" fix but could be "am" if there was only an "am" fix because of a half days trading.

Good idea looks like we need one specifically on Northland. By election to be held in Northland in 2015 or Mike Sabin to resign before 1/1/2016. We also used to have contracts on the next person on the party list entering parliament.

Labour deputy leader - 2 years ago

This may be a little premature but a contract on the labour deputy leader after Little's reshuffle in late 2015 or early 2016 is an option. Contenders could be: King, Mahuta, Sepuloni, Ardern, Robertson, Twyford, Hipkins, Davis, Nash & Other. Good gender balance, basically current front bench plus Nash & Other.
