There is a lot of value in the Paul Ryan speaker market right now. NO seems to be pretty undervalued considering he's told the freedom caucus his demands and now they have 2-3 days to hem and haw about it until Friday. There are bound to be some news stories coming that bump up those NO shares.

This is good advice; if I weren't all tangled up in Biden I'd take it.

Anyone else signed up for Draft Biden emails? Supposedly they're letting supporters know that they need to make a buzz on media and get local politicians to support Biden.

I just want to establish this rule right now : Whether or not Biden ends up running whoever ends up being right isn't allowed to gloat about it too much. You can gloat a bit though. Just a bit.

my guess: wednesday's market will wrecking-ball around a lot like monday's market. remember, on monday several talking heads were saying something'd happen within 48hr. predictitors won't forget that. plus, biden's speaking to URI. they're going to shake and bake at every little tweet.

because of this, i say sell what you have now and buy low tomorrow. those NO shares will come down to low .20s, high .10s if the swings are anything like monday's. and if you're feeling antsy, still sell and head to the paul ryan market.

i guess my point is i don't see the market going above $.32 for the next 8hr. might as well sell and buy NO low.

Today's market was weird. Crazy volume that failed to move it in any direction. 80,000 shares traded, which is tons compared to any day except yesterday. Chunks of hundreds or thousands of shares on both sides that were orderly chewed through.

I'm not making any predictions other that I will be selling if it goes above 35 and buying below 25, trying not to get in too deep but still having enough skin in the game for a decent payout

I just realized that I have cleared $25 after fees in the last week from constantly buying and selling. Which probably works out to $2/hour when I should be doing homework and writing papers.

As a note: right now is, according to traders, the most reasonable evidence that Biden will run. Not 3 months ago when he actually had a chance and there was a ton of time. Now, after a major debate with two clear front runners. This market is stupid. This is the highest it has been.

Alternatively head on over to the Biden as the Democratic nominee market, Biden fans have it down to the low 70s/high 60s. It's a bit longer of a bet, but there really is 0 chance that doesn't go up to the low 80s/mid 90s within a week or two.

That's a pretty safe bet and assuming he doesn't announce today, it should go into 80/90 range as early as tomorrow. It's very likely Hillary is going to savage the benghazi committee, especially now that multiple stories about it being a partisan witch hunt have come out. The Biden boys on PredictIt seem to be basing a lot of their logic on Hillary being hurt by these attacks so when she comes out looking like a champ the Biden enthusiasm should go down fast.

It's been 48 hours since the "he's announcing in 48 hours!" Monday spike and the price is still at a loving dirt cheap 31 cents. This is ridiculous.

I might max out if it sticks here much longer. Doubt he'll announce today, though, with the Benghazi stuff going on.

Ok, dumb question here I'm sure but what's the point of selling at .97 now? Because there's a chance that someone will buy them and you'll get your money sooner?

For the poll ones it's a necessity, since not only might RCP not update at the right time, but PredictIt might pull their results at the wrong time. They've been wrong more than 3% of the time.
