Why do you think you're right?

Nvidia has now dropped to third place.

Why might you be wrong?

There has been a lot of volatility, and Nvidida has had a long history of outperforming the market.

Why do you think you're right?

Khamenei turns 86 next month. I'm basically doing this based on the actuarial tables plus a percentage point. There's no indication that there are any risks to his rule at the moment.

Israel and the US could be doing things behind the scenes, one never knows.

It could happen at any time.

Why do you think you're right?

I think we're very unlikely to see this resolution criteria be met. If it did happen, there is a strong amount of scientific caution that may prevent the sort of consensus that this question requires. For example, I did not realize that there were still doubts about the 1977 Russian flu, but I think with the fact that the WHO at the time did not accept the human bioengineering origin of the flu and the fact that any such biological events would have a lot of opacity around it, I would be surprised if we saw this happen.

I may not be fully thinking about Panzootic and Epiphytotic scenarios.

The resolution criteria section seems fine to me. However, I think @DimaKlenchin raises an excellent point that this may be under 10% and therefore too easy of a question. Maybe have it be by 31 December 2035 or 2040 to make it more of a challenge for forecasters.

I agree with @Benjamin-Shindel that the question of judging whether a ceasefire holds can often be a fool's errand in modern times, especially when you've got irregulars and militias involved. I might suggest not even having it be part of the resolution at all. It could be a separate question if you want. But right now the question of whether they agree to a ceasefire is one specific and testable proposition. Ideally forecasting questions involve one testable proposition at a time, in my opinion. I could be wrong, but that's how I view it.
