Carson is "taking a break" after Iowa, just turned 250 40 cent shares into 250 50 cent shares toot toot.

does this qualify for the dropout market? Not sure how to interpret the rules, but everyone else is crashing

This is at least the fourth break he's taken. I still have 150 shares but I managed to reduce my basis from 88 to 61.

I think it qualifies if he stays on break for a week without announcing he will resume.

If Hillary manages to lose, I made enough money flipping Trump that I'm going to break even on the day. I can accept that.

I got chicken and sold all my Trump coming in 2nd and broke even, which ended up being good because it's crashing now. Rubio is surging to 32. I can't see him placing 2nd.

The slowness of the site caused me to not be able to cancel my Sanders NO offers in time and they just sold for 75 cents. I made a good profit, but I had just decided it was time to hold until the end.

edit: It's my own fault. Have the courage of your convictions, fellow bettors.

I dumped Trump earlier and transitioned into Clinton, which felt like a slightly safer bet.

Edit: I might buy a little Rubio for second place before the larger precincts come in, because I think he has a shot - but that won't be clear until the cities report.

I was so dumb to sell these, I bought them back at 45. I hate myself right now. At least I did quite well by betting against Bernie and the Carson drop out swings.

Hell yeah. Now I'm wishing I picked up more than 50 shares of Cruz immediately prior but oh well. I was betting on him getting at least some good news here and there and a slight surge, but this is incredible!

Managed to flip them for 80.

The site sucks right now, but if I can get anything thru I'm going to start betting for Trump if I can get them on the cheap. It appears that the smaller precinct sites are reporting first (rural) which should benefit Cruz. I'll bet the numbers will start drifting back to Trump as the evening goes on
