GlobalGiving Decision Markets

Do you have an opinion – on EVERYTHING? Do you think you make good decisions? 
 
Well here’s a challenge for you – put those amazing decision making skills to the test and see if you've got what it takes to be a master speculator.
 
GlobalGiving has a unique opportunity for you  – YOU trade “stock” in development here, and earn points by buying low and selling high. By earning the most points you can win prizes and recognition on GlobalGiving.
 
GlobalGiving and Pact’s Capacity Building Services Group are experimenting with the application of prediction (decision) markets for determining quality international development projects.

This innovative pilot is being run through August 31 at GlobalGiving Decision Markets.
 
A prediction market (decision market) is a speculative market designed to make predictions on the outcome of a particular event. It is like a stock market, where people buy and sell shares of ‘project stock’ instead of company stock.
 
When the market closes on August 31, projects will be added to the Global Giving website where they will be able to fundraise. We will track the success of the projects over the next few months and report back to the all the ‘traders’ in the market. Top traders get awards from GlobalGiving!!
