A point of view.
A chance to learn.
Market Ballot is a lightweight interactive financial community built around one simple idea: following the markets should start with curiosity.
What is Market Ballot?
We turn financial events into clear questions. Discover a Federal Reserve meeting, an economic release, or a company’s earnings. Choose an answer, then come back to see what happened.
You don’t need an account, a long analysis, or a portfolio. Just your perspective.
How predictions work
- Discover an event. Read the question, source, deadline, and settlement rule.
- Make your call. Pick an option with one click. Change it any time before the deadline.
- Track your prediction. Your choice and its timestamp stay in this browser’s local storage.
- Follow the outcome. Compare your call with the manually verified result.
These are personal records, not a global poll. We do not claim to count unique voters or publish community vote totals.
How results are determined
Each event has a fixed question and an objective settlement rule. We review the official release and manually enter the outcome. A countdown reaching zero only closes predictions; it never generates an answer.
If an official result is not available, the event stays awaiting result. If its rule cannot be applied or a release is withdrawn, we label it Unresolved or Cancelled.
Official sources. Transparent rules.
Event pages link directly to company investor relations pages, the Federal Reserve, or the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Dates are shown in America/New_York time with daylight saving handled automatically.
Expected publication times are explicitly identified. Sources and a last-verified timestamp are included so you can check for changes. We do not display live prices or invented analyst estimates.
What we don’t provide
Market Ballot does not execute trades, provide personalized investment advice, accept money, award financial prizes, or offer real-money betting. Predictions express opinions and are for learning and discussion.
Information can become outdated. Always check official sources and do your own research.
