Here's an update on the current numbers for the IPSM, the Iowa
Political Stock Market.  The IPSM allows traders to buy and sell
"shares" in the presidential candidates, which will pay off in
proportion to the popular vote percentages won by the candidates.  This
means that share prices basically represent the market's opinion about
what the final percentages will be.

There was an article on the IPSM in last week's Wall Street Journal.

The latest percentages are:

Bush:        40%
Clinton:     32%
Perot:       27%

This represents a two point climb for Perot over the numbers I posted
twelve days ago, and a one point drop for each of Bush and Clinton.
