• Reality-Mined Prediction Markets
• ALAN GREENSPAN: "I still believe there is a greater than 50 per cent probability of recession."
• No recession?
• Shrinking Federal Reserves
• Inspectd.com allows you to test your stock market skills against real historical data. They'll show you a random chart from the past, and you try to guess whether the stock rose or dropped. They'll even give you $100,000 in play money to test your skill.
