where the actual price moving event(s) could be CREATED, MOVED IN TIME, or PREVENTED FROM HAPPENING ALTOGETHER.

and, looking at the sponsors of this and the project name, that's exactly the goal of this whole exercise: to set up a futures market where they can gather information.

Langostino, I think you need to pull your brain off of the barbie for a while. {G} The point of this whole thing, (which, frankly, sounds a bit silly to me), is to predict things like terrorist attacks, not become a new investment vehicle. Do you not think it's a good idea to try to prevent terrorist attacks and the like?
