On the other hand we could try to: - -Give the CFTC some more money  -Make sure these markets are properly regulated -Make the public aware that they exist -And I could open an account with Hedgestreet and get to business. - Or is that too simplistic ?     My thoughts on some these extremely interesting and valuable non-political prediction markets :

- Nobody is paying any attention to them
