So you think Obama might win this years election? Gas prices going to hit $5 by the end of the year? What if you bought stock with those predictions? Well now you can, with “intrading”. If there was a term for this, I’d have to say this would be called “Social Stock Trading”.

InTrade isn’t such a bad idea, there was a study about using the “Wisdom of Crowds“. The idea is, a crowd of people guessing what an outcome of an event, or some sort of subject, will come up with the most likely answer.

Setting up the account was simple, and they even give you a $5000 test account. Day trading couldn’t get any easier.

“Day trading refers to the practice of buying and selling financial instruments within the same trading day such that all positions will usually (not necessarily always) be closed before the market close of the trading day. This is different from After-hours trading. Traders that participate in day trading are called day traders.”

The general idea of how the inTrade system works is, the number you see in green is the percent of chance “the crowd” thinks the event will occur. If you don’t think there is a chance that will occur, you will sell. If so, you can buy at the current ask price. At the end of the event, if you purchased the stock at 75.0, the event will close at 100, earning you 25 points. Each point is worth $.10

Another scenario, if you buy at 25.0 , you can set a sell price for say, 35.0. As the stock rises and people start buying, someone will pick it up at your price. Netting you 10 points for each option you held.

On a side note, for each option you sell, inTrade charges you .05 for each one you sell. I believe the same goes for purchases. That’s probably the reason for making sure each sell order is in .1 increments. I also noticed there were some charges when I made my initial bids. They also have some promotions on getting free trades, but haven’t gotten that far.

In the end, I was a little bored today, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I made my picks, now I’ll just sit back and see where things go.

Just filled up again this morning, and paid $4.12 a gallon. That’s actually about 10 cent higher than normal, seeing how I should have just filled up out outside my neighborhood at $4.03.

A few weeks ago the family took a trip to Florida, prices weren’t “that” bad and nothing out of the ordinary in prices. Except for one stop, we had just hit I-4 and one of the guys that was traveling with us was damn near on empty. So we took the first exit off I-4 (coming off I-95) and there was a BP sitting there. Gas was $4.29 a gallon. This is back in May mind you, I couldn’t imagine the price at that station now. They said they got away with it seeing how they are pretty much the only gas station in the area. Needless to say, my friend ended up paying over 90 bucks to fill his truck.

Me, my CX-7 did pretty good on gas. It might have turbo, but if you lay off the gas, you’ll go pretty far. As for my friend, doing a 100mph at one point, didn’t exactly help him much.

Get some relief and get a Free $250 Pre-Paid Gas Card! It won’t last long, but you will atleast save a few buck.

Here’s an image of a couple glass balls in a room with stained glass. It took about 6 minutes to render.

I’ve been working hard at getting some new software created. This time it will be an Ebook, Box Art cover maker. There are some nice ones out there already, but I think my offering will be a bit different.

In this image, I have set up a mirror behind the box to show it’s not hollow, I’ve also included a clear glass ball. You will be able to position the camera, lights, and other objects very easily.

Level to 80 Faster and Easier

“The truth about Age of Conan, as well as every other MMO on the market, is that the process to hit the end game level isn’t as easy as you might hope but it is a lot faster and e asier in AoC. They all start out very promising, allowing you to gain levels very fast, and then it just tapers off and becomes a long process of steep leveling curves. AoC itself doesn’t participate in the steep curves to level.”……
