The winner of this market will be the person who first receives enough delegates to become the nominee of the U.S. Republican Party in 2012. The delegate counts used will be the one determined by The New York Times, CNN and the Associated Press. Once at least two of those news services have declared a winner, the market will close and the winner will cash out at $100. If a candidate who is not on the list wins the nomination, "Anyone not listed" will cash out at $100. No candidates will cash out at $0 before the market is closed, other than candidates who die or are permanently disabled.

In this market you are asked to predict which films will rank in the top 10 at the U.S. box office during 2010. The number is based on the total earned during the calendar year ending Dec. 31, 2010. If a film opened before 2010, only its 2010 receipts count. If it opens during 2010, earnings in 2011 or later do not count. The market will be cashed out based on the numbers listed at <a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?yr=2010&p=.htm">Box Office Mojo</a>. (Note that its listing may not include movies that opened prior to 2010, which count for this market.) If Box Office Mojo ceases to provide the numbers, the cashout will be based on <a href="http://www.the-numbers.com">The Numbers</a>.  Other films may be added to the list throughout the year. If you would like a film added to the list, please post in the comments section or send en e-mail to the market creator. If a film’s opening is delayed beyond the end of 2010, it will cash out at $0. Other films may also cash out early if their box-office records indicate that they will clearly rank below 10th place among the films that have already opened. If a film reaches $275 million, it will automatically cash out at $100. Thus it is theoretically possible, although unlikely, for more than 10 films to cash out at $100. Important note: As I have in similar markets, I intend to provide information in the listing about each film's standing, based on published reports and weekend projections. I include this information as a courtesy only; although I will endeavor to be accurate, I assume no responsibility for any errors. A tilde (~) in a listing indicates the number is an estimate or projection. Market creator's participation: As long as doing so is permitted by Inkling, the market creator will be participating in this market. In order to be fair to all, I will abide by these restrictions: If I add a film to the list, I will attempt to make the opening price realistic. If I add a film to the list, I will not put money on that film for at least 24 hours afterward. I will not cash out any films less than 24 hours after placing money on them. Hopefully these self-imposed restrictions will maintain the integrity of the market.

The winner will be determined (and cashed out) as soon as possible after the closing ceremonies. Adjustments to the medal counts made after the closing ceremonies will be ignored.

In the event of a tie, I'll pay out the country that gets the most gold medals.  If there is still a tie, I'll pay out the country that comes first in alphabetical order. Market closes about half-way through the Olympics, just to make things interesting. I will pay out the market sometime around the closing ceremonies, using the medal count on the official Olympic website.  I won't be 'going back in time' to change the results if medals are taken/given due to doping/cheating.

When will the next US Supreme Court Justice retire? There are three Justices considered likely to retire during Obama's first term as President. When will one actually retire? I will count any vacancy in the court as a "retirement". Retirement will count the exact official day of retirement (not the day it's announced or anything muddled like that). If there is a vacancy due to death, I will count by the day of death.

The NY Yankees won the World Series with the help of their 2009 free agent crop. A number of contracts have expired freeing up cash. Will they re-sign the guys that got them there or chase some new blood in pursuit of World Series Championship number 28?   Individual stocks will closed upon credible press accounts of signing to a major league contract by either the Yankees or another club or their retirement from baseball. If players are signed to a minor league contract they will be considered to be signed by that club. Any player not signed by the closing of the market, April 4, 2010 will cash out at 0. Please let me know if there is anyone else among the dozens of unlisted free agents worth adding to the market.

Select the month on which you believe the next Australian Federal Election will be held. Note that it MUST be held on or before 16 April 2011 It is also possible that a double dissolution election could be called if legislation cannot proceed through the Senate after two attempts. A double dissolution may only occur on or before 11 August 2010 (as it must occur at least 6 months before the House of Reps is forced to hold an election). The next New South Wales state election is due on 26 March 2011 and this may make a 2011 federal election less desireable. (Note that, of Australia's <a title="Chronology of Australian federal parliaments" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_Australian_federal_parliaments">41 completed parliaments</a>, only one, the 3rd Parliament 1907-1910, continued for the full three years, all the others having been dissolved earlier.)

WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 5, 2009) — The delinquency rate for mortgage loans on one-to-four-unit residential properties rose to a seasonally adjusted rate of 7.88 percent of all loans outstanding as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2008, up 89 basis points from the third quarter of 2008, and up 206 basis points from one year ago, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) National Delinquency Survey. (MBA press release, http://www.mbaa.org/NewsandMedia/PressCenter/68008.htm) In what quarter will the seasonally adjusted residential delinquency rate on one- to four-unit properties first decline from the preceding quarter? The Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) National Delinquency Survey will be the basis for this market. Press releases are issued on the 5th of March, June, September and December for the preceeding quarter. In this market, "quarter" refers to the reporting period, not the quarter of the press release which comes nine weeks later.

The end of the year is a great time to make markets.  Lot's of people put forth their predictions for the new year.  Here's a great example I found via <a href="http://gapersblock.com/merge/archives/2009/12/07/goodbye-moto/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+gapersblock%2Fmerge+%28Gapers+Block%3A+Merge%29">Gapers Block</a>. <a href="http://247wallst.com/">24/7 Wall St.</a> has an article on <a href="http://247wallst.com/2009/12/02/the-ten-brands-that-will-disappear-in-2010/">The Ten Brands that will Disappear in 2010</a>.  Which of these companies will sell off their assets to someone else, or just close completely in 2010? We'll count any of these companies too if they close in 2009 still.
