Stock market impacts of major US policy decisions — [CHARTS]

Chris F. Masse — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:47:39 +0000

Courtesy of the American Civics Exchange (which will open more widely in the near future), an interactive history of the stock market impact of major policy decisions (legislative, regulatory, monetary, and executive) since 2008.

“You can filter by market sector, policy category, party control of Congress and the White House, and track the sometimes surprising swings in both the broad market and relevant sectors in the aftermath.”

Where’s the chart widget?

Don’t see it, do you?

Have you tried Timetric? Like it? Use it?

Timetric

Timetric Byline

What I don’t like: The smart charts don’t go into blog feed.

Do you have remarks about his service? Useful? Not useful?

BetFair’s chart widgets don’t go into feeds.

Chris F. Masse — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:48:43 +0000

Why the fuck would bloggers embed BetFair’s chart widgets if their blog readers can’t see these charts when using feed readers (like Google Reader)?

Once again, we can see plainly the incompetence of the BetFair team when it comes to blogging. They don’t have the first clue. In spite of my blogging and e-mailing this issue for years. So, not only are they totally incompetents, but they are also stubborn in their ineptitude. RSS is no MIT-level business —it is spelled “Really Simple Syndication”. If it “simple”, then BetFair should be able to figure it, one day, in the next coming decade —we hope.

For your information, here’s the webpage with the chart widget.

Addendum: InTrade, NewsFutures and HubDub’s chart widgets do go into feeds. They got it. And they have gotten it for years.

BetFair’s crappy chart widgets

Chris F. Masse — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 10:20:41 +0000

They are crappy because they don’t go into feeds —contrary to InTrade and NewsFutures’s chart widgets.

BetFair’s crappy chart widgets were crafted by DeLuxe Corporation. Yet another web service provider to avoid.

Twitter and the prediction markets

There is here one extremely popular Twitter application for talking online about stocks. Maybe, one prediction market startup will apply the same concept to prediction markets.

HubDub chart widgets

HubDub should tell the bloggers who want to embed their chart widgets in posts that the WordPress blog authors who are neither administrator nor editor should ask for their account to be updated so as to be enabled to publish “Unfiltered HTML”. (The WordPress administrator would do such an account update thanks to the “Role Manager” plugin.)

How many Hubdubbers will have at least H$10,000 on January 1, 2009?

Problem with the Inkling Markets chart widgets

Chris F. Masse — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 01:32:38 +0000

When inserted in a WordPress blog post, they create a perturbation in the force —the size of the font of the webpage they are implemented in is slightly augmented. Case in point: look here, and spot the augmented horizontal menu bar.

No more Inkling Markets chart widgets on Midas Oracle until:

this problem is solved;
their chart widgets go into feeds.

Nathan Kontny, hurry up to fix that —the great Chris Masse is waiting.
