April Console Hybrid Futures to IPO Tomorrow


The simExchange will begin trading US April 2007 console sales hybrid futures tomorrow. Like stocks, the prices of the hybrid futures on IPO day will remain the same all day. The mechanics will remain the same as trading the US March 2007 futures contracts. Once again, the contracts forecast the sales data NPD will report.

Hybrid futures for games are still pending. Issues we are still examining are which games to list and at what prices to launch the contracts. Suggestions for a better IPO price determining process are always welcome.
