:Derivatives on insurance porfolios? I understand all the words but I've never seen this type of instrument. (We're a bit behind in this capitalist game here in Finland. eg. We just got our first real-estate lease-back offerings here.) Care to explain? What kind of derivatives you mean. Reverse (lever) instruments (mmm... sell futures that is I think) on wicked evil stock portfolio X is an interesting idea, that's crossed my mind. That would yield gains to the campaigner if one would make a really killer [[boycott]] and bought into betting the stocks will fall. Is this what you mean? | :Derivatives on insurance porfolios?

Shares and options and futures and other instruments can be created to mirror the various risks to life that [[campaign]]s are trying to protect. To buy in to a campaign, you can either buy a share in the campaign (which is a bet that the campaign will increase the value of the life affected by the activity that the campaign targets, which you consider worth doing for itself - like a tradeable donation) or in some derivative of the campaign (like a fixed deadline at which point the success of the campaign in raising the value of some life will be assessed and you will be paid some premium for predicting that rise). | Shares and options and futures and other instruments can be created to mirror the various risks to life that [[campaign]]s are trying to protect.

This is closely related to the [[bet]] issues being discussed at [[Talk:The Consumerium Exchange]] - one might say there is [[TCE]] and the [[LE]] here... | |||
