My betting on JEB! Yes at .17 worked out. Sold all my shares at .21, bought back in. I'm thinking he goes up to at least .24 or .25 by some point after some drop outs.

Couple of days ago I was thinking he was probably going to drop out but he has an absolutely insane amount of SuperPAC money behind him so there's no way they'll let him. That campaign will get cut to the bone before it's allowed to die

All YES shares across the board are significantly overvalued and the Great Adjustment is even closer now.

Yeah, I mean, I'll cut my losses if it starts looking real grim, but there's too much money with Jeb! for him to not stay in till at least January.

I'm beginning to change my thinking about Carson > 22. Seeing how he is weathering these allegations and how the connection with his supporters is less political and more spiritual, I'm thinking he's going to pull it off. 50 is too expensive and so far the reaction to this poll is muted, but I'll be a buyer if YES drops into the upper 30's or low 40's.

Yeah, Carson <22 should be a safe bet. My fear right now is that Trump attacking him might backfire to some sympathy, but I think ultimately he continues to slide.

I don't think Carson below 22% is safe. He could easily end the month sitting right at 22%.

I do think yes is overvalued there.

For whatever reason, RCP hasn't included the Rasmussen poll yet. They included the August Rasmussen poll, so I don't know if they're just being lazy on a Friday and not entering the new poll or they decided to no longer count Rassy for whatever reason.

They aren't going to include it because the poll didn't ask about all the the candidates.

I have a few bucks on 'No', but this makes me pretty sure it'll happen:

Edit - From the article:

quote:

“There’s going to be a one-minute or so opening, basically open-ended statement from each of the candidates so they can address Paris,” the staffer said. “Then they’re going to have the first 20-minute segment be foreign policy focused because of what happened in Paris, and then they’re going to go back to the debate as it was normally structured."

Debate is being focused on foreign policy & terrorism so I think No is a good bet as well.

I threw $10 on Yes, the Fox Business GOP debate was supposed to be focused on the economy and they went off on some pretty strange tangents there.

My gut says that even if they want to bring it up, it'll just be a generic prompt about race relations. I doubt the moderators would make it that specific.

If nothing else, it looks like the price is trending up toward 50/50, so it's probably a good idea to buy No for a quick flip, even if you plan on switching to Yes.

You didn't withdraw any? gently caress, I'm wearing a silk man thong I bought with my Biden winnings right now.

I just went ahead and bought 90 shares for O'Malley being the winner of the debate, wish me luck.

Nah I'm patient. Plus I don't want to give any of those Yes bastards even the slightest of vindication.

I bought O'Malley winning as well for a really good price. Fingers crossed.

Same, though it looks like most of my shares sold over just prior to the debate. Should have held more, but I can't turn down that safe profit.

Right but he was also entirely incompetent at running a national campaign. I really doubt Jebs campaign will make the same mistakes especially when they already saw what happened to Walker and with the establishment helping them every step of the way.

I think it's pretty rare for the thread to get to the point of a consensus, but insofar as it actually occurs I don't think people here have been wrong too often.

So if anyone is interested, looks like some of the Nov 30 poll markets are starting to heat up. Carson tanked today and I think Trump is still pretty cheap considering the news coverage.
