NJ's Stock Is Up... Find Out Why

September 17, 2007 | 3:22 PM

Our parent company launched a fantasy political stock market on Monday called the National Journal Political Stock Exchange (NJPSE), which is viewable at the top of the page at nationaljournal.com.

The feature allows players to put their political knowledge to the test by predicting outcomes for a range of political events, including all angles of the highly contested 2008 presidential campaign. The NJPSE is powered by prediction market provider Intrade.

Who will win the major party nominations in 2008? Which party will control the House and the Senate after the 2008 election? What will the president's job approval rating be on Dec. 31, 2007? Take stock of the situation using the publicly available Web tool.

NJPSE's launch "brings the age-old Washington parlor game of predicting political events into the online world,” said NJ President Suzanne Clark.
