So, now, when our good friend Alex Kirtland (a talented Internet usability expert, and a sweet friend of the prediction markets) blogs favorably about InTrade, TradeSports, or John Delaney, we should take it with a grain of salt. -> $$$

You know what I thought when I first saw that picture (little Fogarty planted next to Master Of Credit Alan Greenspan)?… I thought, well, its about time that the prediction market industry does the product endorsement by celebrity marketing thing. BetFair premiered that with John McCririck.

John McCririck endorsing BetFair
CHIC TOILET: Bo Cowgill, like all the Google employees in California, has the option to wash his delicate rear area, wash his precious front area, dry, perform something called wand cleaning, and so much more.
I met with Alan Greenspan. He reads Midas Oracle on a daily basis. I have the photo to prove it. Take a look.
What Dean LeBaron should do to have a more usable website. + Who is Dean LeBaron and why does Midas Oracle get to publish about him?
– He should adopt WordPress as his web publishing platform-
– He should use YouTube to web-host his talk videos.

PS: Question to the Midas Oracle readers about Dean LeBaron. Something important has been left out (intentionally) of Dean LeBaron’-s bio. Can you sense what it is? Something that has to do with what we are blogging about on Midas Oracle, day in, day out. Guess what it is. I won’-t talk about it —-don’-t ask. Just a private mind puzzle for your amusement, after you’-ve come back from the beach with the children.

What prediction market software improvement did Alan Greenspan suggest to Xprees Mat Fogarty?
Look at the inconsistency between the two faces. Mat Fogarty is jubilant like if he had just stolen a big client from Inkling. Alan Greenspan, on the other hand, has a constipated look that conveys that he is fed up with all those conference co-speakers asking him out for a photo op.
Enough already with coming soon. I am fed up with promises. I want this prediction market TV journalism project to be executed this year, in 2008.
When Robin Hanson realizes that ALL the prediction market luminaries BUT HIM have joined the LinkedIn group on Prediction Markets, he will rush to ask for an invite.
Join the LinkedIn group on “-Prediction Markets”- —-WE ARE NOW 79 MEMBERS.
Don’-t forget to make the group badge visible on your profile —-OTHERWISE, THE DAMN PURPOSE IS DEFEATED.

Since 2002, when research was formally separated from investment banking, the quality of research on Wall Street has deteriorated, and many top analysts have left the business.
– Banks are no longer allowed to pay their analysts from any revenue derived from investment banking, only from trading operations.
– An investment banker can’t call a research analyst at the same firm without a lawyer chaperoning the conversation.

Good parallel is drawn, in the article, with journalism.
