Commie NedFlanders posted:Stupid walls of texts effectively change the markets you say? I absolutely screw with the comments every now and then. I'm not as bad as that jongordon guy who would just straight up come in and yell "CARSON DROPPING OUT! HERE'S A LINK" and link to Justin Bieber's twitter feed, but I definitely colour my perfectly cogent analysis towards the way I'd like people to buy. I figure the former can only make people more cautious which means less money long term.

Omi-Polari posted:Those are risky. That's not what happened. The polls had an accurate picture of the race three days before the primary, then went on hiatus right as Hillary cried in a diner. The end. The polls will be just as terrible this weekend, but 30 points isn't 10.

why the gently caress are people reading the comments anyway, it's half half-assed commentary and half trolling.

Personally I feel this kind of money making is already walking a fine line against sin, I wouldn't want to try to deceive people and actively take from others to enrich myself. I'm no capitalist lol

Bought 25 shares of NO on the coin toss question tonight. I mean, it was $10, this is like making a bet with a friend at a bar.

You know what the Cruz Iowa shenanigans tell me? He's got an organization that is good at rat loving, they will probably do it again at some point, and it will work. Or it will sink Cruz, just like the McCain baby robocalls in 2000 sunk Bush. Wait.

I bought “yes” on the coin toss on the basis that Rachel Maddow is moderating.

I sold my 25 No shares for a $2 profit, so either you saved me $10, or you talked me out of a sure way to make $10. It's a coin flip either way.

I talked to another reporter today and she was interested in talking to even more traders this time. If any of you guys are interested in being interviewed by a reporter for The Street send me a PM or post your email address.

It's my own fault for not reading the rules so I let myself feel joy for once for no reason. But haven't these types of markets in the past generally also included candidates in people who could talk about stuff? I feel like PI is trolling me specifically.

Or it will sink Cruz, just like the McCain baby robocalls in 2000 sunk Bush. Wait. I got to be honest, I see absolutely nothing wrong with what Cruz did and do not understand why anyone cares. If Carson supporters are weak willed enough to take the word of Ted loving Cruz supporters that their guy is dropping out, then that's on the good DR. for being so poo poo his own supporters don't believe in him. The advocate gets to go up and say whatever they want to persuade the other caucusers. Plus, is it really that much of a lie to say the good DR. is on his way to quitting? poo poo, they're all already lying about how voting for Trump or Cruz or Bush is best for the country.
