For those of you unfamiliar with Predictit.org:

PredictIt is an exciting new, real money site that tests your knowledge of political and financial events by letting you make and trade predictions on the future.

Taking part in PredictIt is simple and easy. Pick an event you know something about and see what other traders believe is the likelihood it will happen. Do you think they have it right? Or do you think you have the knowledge to beat the wisdom of the crowd?

The key to success at PredictIt is timing. Make your predictions when most people disagree with you and the price is low. When it turns out that your view may be right, the value of your predictions will rise. You’ll need to choose the best time to sell!

Keep in mind that, although the stakes are limited, PredictIt involves real money so the consequences of being wrong can be painful. Of course, winning can also be extra sweet.

For detailed instructions on participating in PredictIt, see How It Works.

PredictIt is an educational purpose project of Victoria University, Wellington of New Zealand, a not-for-profit university, with support provided by Aristotle International, Inc., a U.S. provider of processing and verification services. Prediction markets, like this one, are attracting a lot of academic and practical interest (see our Research section). So, you get to challenge yourself and also help the experts better understand the wisdom of the crowd.

I have been monitoring it off and on for the last week or so and the price has risen from .22 a share to .28 per share at the time of writing.

It is an interesting site, and I am seriously considering buying in on some shares for some of the questions on there in the future.

What is interesting about it is this isn't just a "Do you think?" type of survey, these are for the large part "Investments" made by people doing some research and due diligence into the issue that they are investing in and putting real world money behind their opinion.

It should be interesting to watch how this plays out. Particularly in the days leading up to and following her interview with the FBI.

What would you put your money on?

I am thinking there will possibly be a recommendation of charges, but I am not sure if the AG will actually file them unfortunately.
