Well, I lost this one. $500 gone. Was she afraid of appearing to self-serving?

Too late for that.

= )
LOL, Rock Band? I don't think that would work, Clinton would only try to hit the red notes, and she would undermine the importance of any blue note that Obama gets right.

= )
Yep, but we all know we'd have a much better chance of seeing Michelle in Bill's arms first. Bill's good like that.

= )
Ouch. She did NOT mention hillaryclinton.com. Link to speech transcript to follow.
I want Barack Obama to walk in the building.....NOW! Then, as he gets onto the podium, they embrace, and rock back and forth in each other's arms.

Hillary would get major points for that.

= )
Choke holds, I think they're called.
My son is so funny. At age 8, he says, "Yeah!!! Finally she gets it!! Yes, finally!!"

= )
I wonder how many people left the building after her "Let's support Obama" statements. Probably lots. The booers sure sounds quiet now.

Darn, wish I could have been there.

= )
Okay, look at it this way...

The microphones are black. They contrast against her suit instead of blending into her suit, The suit, against the mics, definitely looks dark brown.

But, it doesn't matter what we see. It has to be "reported by a mainstream news source", right?

= )
Whoa, is she getting booed over the "Let's give it to Obama" statements?
There it is!!!!

"Who emailed and contributed online...."

ugh, "online" doesn't count

= )
Looks like a dark brown. She's been doing dark brown with blue a lot.
LOL @ theonecalledmichael.

"Donations at hillaryclinton.com will now support Obama's candidacy....." Um, yeah. Right. Sure.

@ smidge. I'm sure if she mentions Obama's site, she's going to mention hers first. Hillaryclinton.com will not go away until her campaign debt goes away. Remember, she is suspended, not ending, her campaign. This way, legally she can still collect donations to pay off her tremendous debts.

Oops. Was there a "Will she cry during her speech" question?

= )
You think she'd divorce him and lose the "Clinton" brand? No way.

= )
Back to the question......

She will mention it. In a slick way. Such as...

"Thanks for all of your support and kind words that you submitted on hillaryclinton.com....."

"Thanks to the millions of voters that supported me at the polls, and to the millions more that voiced their support on hillaryclinton.com...."

"You can find more plans about my plans and charts about my plans on hillaryclinton.com...."

"I am here for YOU! Reach me at anytime through hillaryclinton.com...."

Etc., etc. She'll mention it.

= )
Wow, this kid is really trying to get somewhere......desperately!!!!

Poor kid.

= )
I lost my size 0 two years ago. Kept it for years too. Now I'm a size 6.

Who knew that becoming a software developer that sits on my toosh all day would turn out to be so.....fattening!

= )
Been here, done this. The lawsuit involves the violation of a non-compete and/or confidentiality agreement. There's no beating those type of agreements.

Either Mattel will win, or both will settle out of court. No way MGA wins this.

= )
Unless "baskets" is a new word for "interns"...

= )

Triple 7s!

= )
Hopped up bulls? As if bull fighting isn't dangerous enough.

= )
We all know that we all thought of doing this when we were kids. Am I the only one here that grabbed a bunched of helium birthday balloons and jumped off of a chair, just to see what happens? Hehe!

Seriously, though. This story is very sad. He made it up to 20,000 feet. Wow.

His balloons were found, he wasn't. http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30200-1313704,00.html

This question is a money bucket. LOL!

= )
Oops! You're right, I'm wrong. 3:59 close. Okay, doable.

You may live vicariously through me on this one!

= )
Wow, the 12 hour thing, plus the market closes at 2:59 pm EST, almost an hour before the end of trading?

No se puede.

= )
Whoa, Markov. Before you do it, you have to Sharpie "HUBDUB" on your asset.

= )
Ooops, did I say Buy? I mean Sell!

Two H$2K bets reduced to H$15.00 each. Ouch.

= )
No! Let's root for the bargain hunters! Buy, buy, buy!!!

= )
Here's comes the spin....

= )
Thanks! You too! I'm fighting my way back from a H$23K loss last week. If only I still had that H$23K....

Great day for the markets! I'm hoping the Dow doesn't pull a "Sike! Just kidding!" at the end of the day!

= )
Ha! Huh? How'd you know I had those....

= )
Ditto. This is a great question!

= )
edogg....I'm down. That's how I make the most money on these questions anyway; I place my bet at the beginning of the day and just let things play out.

Please make the suspend date 10am EST. I don't finish checking email until then.

= )
Oh, no! I missed out on a good one!

= )
With all of today's bad news, I'm not sure what to do. I guess I'll just stick to my guns and think optimistically!

If you no longer see my name on the quarterly gain leaderboard tonight, you'll know why!

= )
Per Yahoo Finance: "Stocks have pared losses and are making a charge toward their break-even level. The Dow Jones has pushed its nose into positive territory."

Should I celebrate? Or, should I brace for what has become the habitual end-of-day plummet?

= )
A paintsuit does not necessarily have to match the top and bottom, so this should be settled as "Different Color"

= )
When you go over there, give them a good working over for me, please. I'm at $70 for a full tank every 4 days.

Tell whoever it is that they owe me a pair of $70 heels every 4 days!!!!

= )
I hope it so!!!!

*fingers crossed*

= )
If no meetings take place in Syria, then Jimmy will not meet Hamas leaders in Syria, meaning the answer to whether or not he will meet leaders in Syria will be "No". Just a guess.

Ryan?

= )
I'm waiting to see what Noon will bring.

= )
Go Cognos!

*shakes pom poms*

= )
posted 31 weeks ago on When will Cognos acquire H$10,000?
Funny!

Hillary won't cry, she's just a little bitter.

Bush won't cry. McCain is doing his best to lock Bush into a third term.

Paris won't cry. She's too hard, after her jail stint and all.

But, Brittney was just in another car accident....and everyday seems to be a bad hair day....

= )
posted 31 weeks ago on Who will be televised crying next?
Any news on the HubDub-Stimulus package?

My H$ is definitely in need of stimulation...

= )
I've lost gooogobs of money on the market last week.

That's right. I said GOOOGOBS!

H$20K to be exact.

= )
Um, yes, I did. And I'm kicking myself for not doing the same.

= )
I'm betting on between 12600 and 12700.

*fingers crossed*

= )
Teetering on the line again....

= )
Huh? LOL!

= )
Whoa!

Shall we get back on topic?

Why is everyone jumping all over Ass? Ass was just suggesting that, just because we caught one ass doesn't mean that we can guarantee that we will catch all asses. There is always going to be some ass among us, someone that is determined to show what an ass he is.

You get rid of one ass, a bigger ass will follow.

The only real way to get rid of all the asses is to ban each one, lock their accounts, etc.

I think we are all on the same page here, so no need to be an ass about it.

(Donkey! I mean, donkey....)

= )
Coming up next: A proposed ban on users with profanities, such as "a**", in their user names.

= )
Where's the "(you)" option?

= )
Ouch.
That's the spirit!

= )
LOL@michael

No Blackberry?

= )
Yes, great question. I have all bets on "No".

Unfortunately.

= )
Orlin, thanks so much for this question. It's just what I needed!

= )
Aren't ICL tournament questions banned?

= )
Whew is right!

= )
We'll see. H$50 on "DJIA closes between 12,600.01 and 12,700.00" at 1.22%.

Yes we can....

= )
I'm sticking to my guns on this one.

= )
LOL! I love the Scarlet Letter justice!

Also, great idea for "Wall of Shame".....

....unless someone decides that their goal is to make it to the top of the wall of shame, then you have players competing for positions on the wall of shame like a wall of shame leaderboard......loserboard.....

Also, all users that have been tagged as gamers should be removed from the Leaderboards.

Please. Thanks.
= )
I'm voting for me! Definitely!

Watch me....

= )
Who?

Seriously....

So basically, I missed a huge opportunity to make H$ because I didn't do the research, and didn't catch the question before Satyaki dumped into it! Thanks for the background info!

I'm torn on the void-worthiness of this.
All sports questions should be 50-50 in my opinion. A team can either win or lose, two choices.

But then again, I'm in the negative thousands on the sports questions, so what do I know...

I will say that I'm dissspointed that the
admins didn't catch this first, and I worry about how much more gaming is taking place under the radar.

Shame on you, Satyaki. Shame....on....you!

= )

How did this market move after the suspend date? After the market close, the "DJIA closes between 12,500.01 and 12,600.00" answer was at 97%. As I type this at 3 minutes after close, that same option dropped to 67%.

~confused~
Wow.

When do you think Hubdubbers' egos will go into recession?

Don't get me started....

= )
Hillary did what??????!!!!!

......."It's time for this campaign to get out of the gutter," she said....

Oh, the irony.

= )
Ditto @anaverageamerican.

= )
Where's the "Steph" option?

= )
Double-post much?

= )
Geez! I'm betting scared, laying down only H$50 - H$100 at a time.

I took a H$10K hit on a sports question. I'm scarred for life.

= )

Whoa, Jers! You bet H$100K on a single question? You guys are BIG TIME!!!!

= )
Ha! But, that makes me feel alot better about my H$2,000 loss. Thanks!

= )
Checking in! I just added another H$100.

I think the most activity is seen on the "pick a number for the 4th digit" questions. Or, at least those are my favorite.

= )
Kicking myself for missing this Q. Do it again for next week!

= )
I'm betting the farm on "Maybe". I'm going to make a killing!

= )
Vote for me!!!!

= )
No way. Shannon got sent home! I'm still in shock!

= )
Make things interesting. Make these sort of questions for the 5th digit (ones place).

= )
Checking in!

I really doubt that this one's going into the red....

= )
400 at 8.00% and 100 at 6.97%? Nice!

I lost more than I gained on this one. Oh well.

= )
200 @ 19.14% = $1045.

= )
Oops! Now I'm showing mine...

= )
Wow! Congrats!

Care to share? Open those predictions.....show me yours since I'm showing you mine...

= )
Reset the leader boards, leave the H$.

Pretty please....

I love this headline....

"Diddy Didn't Shoot Tupac...or Diddy?"

Let's look at the word resign:

American Heritage Dictionary
re·sign (rĭ-zīn') Pronunciation Key
v. re·signed, re·sign·ing, re·signs

v. tr.

1. To submit (oneself) passively; accept as inevitable: I resigned myself to a long wait in line.
2. To give up (a position, for example), especially by formal notification.
3. To relinquish (a privilege, right, or claim). See Synonyms at relinquish.

So, as you see, the word resign could have the #2 meaning, which is the act of announcing the resignation by formal notification (Which Spitzer did today), or the #3 meaning, which is to relinquish power (Which Spitzer will do on Monday).

Not a solution, just something to make you say....."HMMMMM".......

= )
DOH! Wrong question. Okay, you know where my head is at....

*embarrassed*

= )

Why was the other Q voided?

= )
I can't take this anymore. Back to the NYSE questions....

= )
"Under the plan, the transfer of power in Albany would take place "within days but not immediately is my understanding," a prominent state Democratic source said. Two sources close to the governor's office later said Spitzer will step down by Monday."

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/12/spitzer/index.html

Monday it is......

This market should be closed as of 11:30 AM EST
"Spitzer's resignation is contingent on the details of his transition being worked out, aides said."

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/12/spitzer/index.html
Can I get a confirmation on announcement date vs. actual resignation date?

= )
Ha! Got in early with H$100 at 1.5%. Walked with H$6000.

= )
infernalmachine is awesome! Thanks for the digit Q! I was looking for that one today too!

= )
I vote for all "death questions" to be banned. HD should not encourage members to benefit from the death of others.

Thanks.

= )
I flagged. This closed way too early.

Is HD having daylight savings time issues with its servers?

= )
I'm betting on Holly! She excels at every photo shoot, and I've never seen a bad catwalk from her!

DJIA wins.

The "Request Settlement" link isn't working....

= )
When does the NYMEX close?

= )
Agreed. I bid on this, but agreed!

= )
Oh. I guess since Hillary is back to being herself and has stopped trying to be "sensitive", "personable", and "in touch with the people", no more tears.

= )
Almost.....

= )
Is all of today's DOW convo taking place in another DOW question?
Whoa. I never liked pennies.

= )
No, just sitting here.....holding my breath....

= )
More...

"Will there be an Ebay auction claiming to offer a piece, or pieces, of the dead spy satelitte on or before February 29, 2008 PST?"

Yes, there are auctions CLAIMING to offer pieces of the satellite. You've all posted links as proofs of these CLAIMS. So, where is the confusion?

This should be settled as YES.

= )
" Will anyone claim to have pieces up for auction before the end of the month? "

Operative word: CLAIM

I have a bridge that I can sell you.

I just claimed to be able to sell you a bridge.

What bridge? Dunno. It's not a real bridge. But I did definitely claim to have a bridge.

Get it?

If there are exactly 4 qualifying earthquakes, would both the first and second options win?

Who was voted off? I missed the episode....
I feel obligated to bet on me, just because apparently no one else is.

= )
My food addiction is stronger than my Hubdub addiction. I'd never make it on the creepie crawlie diet that the contestants have to endure. Plus running around half naked in the sand for weeks at a time is not my idea of fun.

Give me a Survivor where the food is catered, accommodations are 5 Star, I have full access to my wardrobe and my stylist at all times, and you can count me in!

Or, just give me James.....

= )
= )
Yes we can.

= )
Nikkei 225, Nikkei 300, or Nikkei 500?

?
Ditto on winning both, but lately breaking even is all that I could hope for.
= )
That's nothing. I just lost 20K on the "where will it close" question. With this one, I break even.
Yes! It's up for the close!!

Oh, that's old news!!!

Rally in progress.

CNN: "US Stocks Turn Higher On Fannie, Freddie News"

I'm just waiting for the "Turn Higher" to kick in.

= )
Congrats Rohan. I'm still trying to make my way back to H$140K. I'm having a hard time making more than I lose in a day.

What's up with the DJI today? Flat through the noon hour? This usually doesn't happen. What's the news out there?

= )
I bet on that other question regarding the spread. I was thinking it would be in the 25 to 50 point range. Oh well.

I'm struggling to make more H$. I've been seeing tons of sports questions HD, but I know nothing about sports. I'm surprised that there aren't more politics questions.

Hopefully I won't lose my arse on this today. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one to lose big on my own question. Last week's Survivor tribal counsel was my downfall.

= )
Awwwww, wheres the "DJI, Up or Down?" question that I was hoping for?

= )
I love this question!!!!!

Phred, you're right. Basically, you place your prediction on one option, and hope that most folks dump money into the other option.

= )

I lost about H$800 on this today; I was betting on a 12600 rally too.

Every time I cashed in for a (small) gain, by the time the page stopped processing I ended up cashing in for a (catastrophic) loss!

= )
@belarusia

I don't know about that. They released better than expected housing data. Plus Energy and Drug stocks are up.

= )
Are you suggesting that I bet that today's market closes down? Hehe! You first!

Create an up/down Q for tomorrow's market. All these "Will the market close between 12,500.00 and 12,500.01?" are too difficult to predict.

= )
Of course I'm in! After the 12 hour "no cash in" period, of course!

I guess you'd better create those Q's now!

= )
This market was settled incorrectly.

Could the HD admins please post it's source on this???? All sites that I'm checking are showing the 12,380.77 lower open. Where is HD getting it's info????

= (
I'm starting to miss the simple "DJIA: Up or Down?" questions.

= )
I don't know about Probost's raised hand. Wow, that would be unbelievable if he did!

= )
Oh, please don't. I've worked too hard to get the little bit of money that I have now. No way I'd want to start from zilch.

Then again, I'm such a Hubdub addict that I'd probably be back anyway.........

= )
So, Jackpot! Right?

Friends don't let friends drink and Hubdub.

= )
Ha! I thought the same thing too when I heard her start that sentence! I was waiting for her voice to start quivering, but it didn't.

= )
Actually, I cashed out the H$3, and then I put in H$200 @ 5.42%.

It's looking very nice!!!!

= )
Wooohoo!!! The 4:30pm EST bargain hunters are at it again!

Ditto on the Superbowl. Who would have known?

= )
Oh, please let it kick in soon.....
LOL! I'm not "coming after your spot", I'm fighting just to stay in the top 20!

I suffered at least H$20K in losses this week; between Tuesday's stock market, Yau-Man being voted off (DOH!), every sports question I bid on (as usual, when will I learn?), and me bailing on the gender of J-Lo's twins, it's amazing that I'm still #7!

Thanks for the compliment of feeling threatened by me!

= )
Me too! I wonder if this came from my idea posted in getsatisfaction.

= )
Haha! I'm keeping hope alive!

= )
DOH! H$3 @ 2%.......
I knew you'd ask. I predicted "Yes" @ 28%.

Okay, I showed you mine, now show me yours!

= )
I'm going for a long-term, "stick to my guns" prediction today.

= )
The spoiler sites have tons of wrong predictions, everyone knows that. I have it right, more right than any of those sites.

*MORE SPOILERS*

Parvetti will touch James' chest.

Cirie takes the target off of her back and pins it to her forehead.

The two players that are sent to Exhile Island will run around on the beaches and climb trees.

Both teams will eat fish.

It will rain.

The Fans will give back the immunity idol to Probost before the immunity challenge.

Before the challenges, Probost will say "Survivors, ready?"

James will speak with a southern accent.

Both teams will boil water.

Both teams will sleep in shelters.

The sun will shine.

The moon will rise.

The water will be wet.

= )
*SPOILER ALERT*

I read online that in the next tribal counsel, Probost will say "The Tribe has spoken"

Parvetti slaps James on his toosh.

I'm going to create a spinoff question: "What will the gender of the Ozzlets be? Girl? Boy? Strange Tribal Thingy?"

Another: "In Episode 4, how many times will we see blurred booty shots?" I think I counted about 4 in this episode.

= )

Haha! This is the best tribal counsel argument. Much more punches being thrown here than there are on the debate stage!

= )
Also stated in the above news source link:

"Hillary Clinton became involved into a scandal about having a lesbian affair with her personal aide Huma Abedin. A new book by Edward Klein, ‘The Truth About Hillary’ is said to make some claims about Hillary Clinton having lesbian relationships."

= )
Cool.

What should I watch? Prez debate or Survivor? Hard choice.

Too bad that they didn't have the debate on Survivor Island.

= )
@satyaki. You? Good? Impossible. *wink*

= )
@destry. Yikes! Hopefully 12300.00 would cause this question to be voided.
I've got H$17K in this thing. I'm kicking myself for not catching a better percentage on the much easier "up or down" question.

= )
Why is it that everytime I bet on a "above or below this line" question, the market rides the line????

= )
I'm impressed! Per finance.yahoo.com, "The Federal Reserve on Wednesday lowered its projection for economic growth this year, citing damage from the double blows of a housing slump and credit crunch. It said it also expects higher unemployment and inflation." Yet the market is still showing a gain for the day!

= )
I'd give anything for the "Cash in now" buttons to become enabled.

= )
Haha! Let's have a contest to see who will blow all of their winnings first! And, maybe Hubdub can have a Biggest Loser list on the Leaderboards!

= )
Oops, did I say 1? The are now worth zero.

I am the Biggest Loser.

= )
More: All of my H$1000 bids are now worth H$1. 1. As in, One.

*waving the white flag*

= )
@Destry - Only making H$1K is better than losing H$25K. I was so proud of myself this morning after breaking the H$100K mark.

@Blues - Ditto that. I've lost almost every sports question that I've ever bid on.

@The Stock Market - AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

= )

I lost everything on this question. Almost H$25K. @#%@$%@#!@$@#$%!!!!! I give up.

= )
Ditto the flagging.

= )
This is the last season, only three more episodes left. I'm sooooooooo disappointed. First the Sopranos, now this....
Woohoo! H$100K, here I come!

= )
Wow, I'm an option too! Cool! And, I'm the pink line!

= )
I believe that the suspension date is the settlement date for this question.

Clarification, anyone?

= )
