Comment Text:
I have taught macroeconomic and finance for almost 50 years. I have used these political prediction markets in my courses for almost thirty years. I lecture about how the markets react to various election scenarios, and how the probabilities of each event might impact stocks, bonds, and the value of the dollar. These markets are invaluable to understanding the interaction of politics and the economy and therefore finance.
PLEASE RESTORE THESE MARKETS! THEY ARE INVALUABLE AS AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE!!!
