A graphical user interface for a financial activity network that includes
a central managing system connected to a plurality of participant
terminals. Rules governing operation of the financial activity are stored
for future reference. A participant provides investment information such
as a map location for the predicted strike by the natural event and,
optionally, one or more secondary parameters relating to the natural
event, such as the time interval between the time of investment and the
time of all event strike and/or the severity of the event strike
according to an established scale. The graphical user interface provides
the user with the ability to select options and view data from a screen
display, with recalculations of data being displayed on an ongoing basis,
reflecting the user's current selections.
