My Predictions

Who will be the longest-lived US President on February 1, 2040?

Current forecast: Jimmy Carter (32% chance)
Combining all predictions, the current most likely outcome is Jimmy Carter with a probability of 32% (unchanged in last 1 day)

According to this wikipedia article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Presidents_by_age, Gerald Ford is the longest-lived US President at 93 years, 165 days. Bill Clinton, the youngest living President, will turn 93 years, 166 days, on February 1, 2040.

After January 20, 2037, this market may assume that the current President finishes his/her term.

Note: Apparently, hubdub does not allow a suspension date of 2040.

Are we trying to come up with the longest term markets possible today? If they ever come up with some way to let us earn interest while invested in a market, this would be worth it.. until then, I will join my two friends with a 1$ bet. If I'm still playing Hubdub in 40 years then I'll be very surprised to see this one pay out.
