Discounting from higher default prices rather than penalizing from lower default prices is more of a branding difference than an economic difference:

Social Security and Medicare are ~26% and ~16.5% of the federal budget (excluding the 15% of the budget that's just financing previous years' budgets):

> no reason they can’t publish valuable work with the right collaborators

Despite h-index claiming to balance quantity and quality, it obviously incentives quantity over quality (no single publication can increment h-index as much as churning out a few worthless publications that cite each other); med students overwhelmingly follow those incentives trying to secure better residencies

> (1) Insight scores

> (2) ETF management

(1) seems like their (stated) differentiator itself; plenty of organizations already offer ETFs that omit selected companies

I doubt their data is cleaner internally than it is on their website. They're bringing in millions annually from their expense ratios:

and overpromising/underdelivering on their ability to diligently deliver (1)

> international subsidiaries

Secondary listings allow entire companies to trade on multiple exchanges (not just corresponding subsidiaries)

So I agree that it was likely just a mistake to list multiple listings of the same companies, but the fact that they usually receive different scores proves their process isn't diligent:

* $GOOGL.MX is dinged for multiple non-Mexico-specific violations that the other listing isn't

Most of the examples I provided are due to differing country codes; their site fails to recognize things like Alphabet trading on a Mexican stock exchange is still the same company: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOGL.MX/

$GOOGL.MX scoring differently than other $GOOGL listings makes me extremely skeptical that humans are diligently creating these scores (finance professionals should've recognized that secondary listings like $GOOGL.MX don't need their own scoring)

Guess who organized decades-long misinformation campaigns to make them as essential as they currently are: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/ExxonMobil_climate_change_denial

Regardless, most companies I checked have multiple different ratings because that site can't even do basic data cleaning:

https://inspireinsight.com/AAPL/US https://inspireinsight.com/AAPL/PT

https://inspireinsight.com/GOOGL/GT https://inspireinsight.com/GOOGL/MX

https://inspireinsight.com/TSM/US https://inspireinsight.com/5425/TW

https://inspireinsight.com/LUBEREF/SA https://inspireinsight.com/2223/SA

so even they disagree with their own ratings ;)

One difference between federal-level prediction markets and state-level gambling is that most states had limited gambling to 21+, so most state governments wanted more nuanced options than outright bans
