Is there really any way that he drops out before Iowa? It's slightly over 2 months, with a lot of that time eaten up by holidays. Sure he's still hosed in the polls, but that doesn't seem like much time for Jeb! to realize it's over.

Rasmussen just posted to RCP. Looks like O'Malley may take the lead for biggest bump. No reaction yet in the market.

He's already announced a blitzkrieg starting mid-December and if it's an actual nationwide ad-campaign it'll take longer than the Iowa primary to see the results. There's no way he's out before Iowa

Mother Fucker! I just got scared and sold for what I paid at 36

I'm quite heavily invested in John Bell Edwards. I'm going to be on pins and needles all day.

Thanks for the quick post. Someone filled my Buy Clinton No at 50 cents so I'm going to make a nice little profit on this.

No but there will probably be a few events along the way that bump those NO shares up so you can sell for a tidy profit.

I think that's probably the right move. One thing I've noticed is that the prices tend to spike after a big swing, then settle back down. If you can sell at the height of the spike you can get really good deals.

Commenters are going ham on Bush dropping before Iowa. I went ahead and used my Dem debate winnings to buy in on Bush-No but I feel like these guys are going to push it even further. Will probably hold on to tonight's LA winnings to buy into Bush-No again when it drops even further.

May 28, 2008
Really hoping the Louisiana market spooks further so I can justify hopping back in.

Edit: Something like 50/50 or 60/40 would be great, and there are a ton of hard-R partisan commentators pushing things in that direction right now.

lol I bought into LA GOV DEM YES at the beginning for .80 thinking it was a lock. I still think it is, but dang

liquidity is super important

edit i've also got a ton of YES on Jeb dropping before Iowa because I think it'll spike in the next few weeks. imo there will be calls very soon to consolidate the establishment vote to take on Trump

At this point I don't feel comfortable betting against Jeb! being an incompetent fuccboi at any price.

No on Trump polling at 27% is going for less than 75c when he's currently at 24.6 and hasn't hit 27 since the first of the month. This might stay undervalues for a while, there's a lot of :byodood: ONLINE POLLS :byodood: in the comments.

I don't think there's going to be a lot of spook in the la governor market, looks like the sos site is showing Edwards ahead as predicted and the Republican YES market is tanking. There's probably money to be made but 2 risky 4 did guy.

I sold out of LA gov because I had a bunch of Dem.YES. I know I lose out on that last 5%, but I'd rather take 95% now than risk losing it in a Republican upset. Still think Edwards is gonna pull it out, but we'll see.

Me too. I sold at 97. I had a 71 basis. I am happy leaving the last 10% on the table if it means I can pull 90% off the table.

JBE's poll numbers are going down the tiniest bit. With luck this will continue and there will be some last minute scraps to grab.

E: Screw it, grabbed some Yes R's at 1c a bit earlier and was able to sell for 2 just now, that's a happy profit.

Edwards' victory is good, and I think people overstated the Kentucky outcome since it had a real shortage of good polling going into election day. The LA race was way better polled, even with the last minute terrorist attacks to add some uncertainty.

Trump Bump No is currently at 72 Buy/24 Sell if you want to try and buy in at sub 30.

Trump NO on hitting 27 utterly collapsed, under 50, which is weird as he hasn't it that since the beginning of the month and presumably after Paris candidates with foreign policy should be favored.

RCP dumped a few polls, so the current ones may stick around awhile.

My uncle who works at the RNC gave me a hot tip, though. Don't bet on polls.
