>...Yeah, but if you look at the court filing, Intrade really was doing
things that ran afoul of the regulated markets.  In particular, prediction

There are other prediction markets out there.

Hmmm, I don't understand why gold is a regulated market, and even if so, why
it hurts anything to speculate on its future price through InTrade.  And if
gold is a regulated market, which other elements are regulated markets and
why?
