Return of the individual game futures!

The simExchange will begin trading US June 2007 individual game sales hybrid futures tomorrow. Like stocks, the prices of the hybrid futures contracts on IPO day will remain the same all day. These hybrid futures contracts forecast the unit sales NPD Group will report for the month of June 2007.

We are able to trade game futures once again because the NPD Group has kindly committed to providing us sales data for these games even if they do not make the Top 10, so you do not have to worry about a contract expiring at 0 DKP anymore.

These hybrid futures contracts represent the sales for the games in the retail calendar month of June. This retail calendar month extends to July 7 and is five weeks in length. The NPD Group will release sales data on July 19. The hybrid futures contracts will stop trading at 11:30 PDT on July 18.
