:lol: at Rubio at first, stop following dumbfuck media narratives.

i don't think it will happen but it is plausible and at under 10 cents a share it could be a massive profit. Pretty much every poll has shown movement towards Rubio and strategic voting is hardly unlikely. I was in on Rubio 1st earlier but sold for a profit but I might go back in if I see another data point

edit: I think Rubio no on 3rd is a good buy at under 55, given 2nd is more likely, 1st is plausible, and maybe the polls are all garbage and bush or kasich are there.

In on Trump No 1st as a hedge, safer than any other hedge I can think of...Arkane speaks the truth. It was the same price as Trump 2nd Yes which seemed...less safe if Cruz overperforms and it's all within a couple points. Really though I just wanted to empty quote it.

I've got almost all of my money on Trump 1st. However, I bought in some time ago, so I can still sell at a profit if need be. Can anyone recommend a safer strategy? For reference, I've got 474 dollars in Trump at 550 shares.

What's your cost basis? If you're at 100% profit, say, you could sell half of your holdings and live on pure profit, sell the rest at any point from there and still make money.

Or you could sell more than your break even point if you want to lock in more profits, or sell less if you want to take a bigger risk. Right now you're holding onto the biggest risk possible.

I've got 700 on Trump 1st, 200 on Cruz 2nd, and 300 on Rubio 3rd. Really tempted to sell some of these so I can buy some Trump shares at 89c jeez, he's not going to underperform that much.

Balanced out a little between Cruz and Rubio 2nd, but still leaning Rubio.

Haven't placed a bet on Nevada for the Dems. I have zero feel on what is going to happen, and the polls should not be trusted or relied upon.

Good luck today bros.

The guy is buying $1500 worth at 3c/share after having picked up about as much already, so he's just getting out of a massive short. Or he's going with the clever plan to spend $3000 to prop up Jeb's odds on the Euro prediction markets to keep his spirits up, whichever.

YouGov resampled people from its poll a week ago, which had...

Donald Trump: 42%
Ted Cruz: 20%
Marco Rubio: 15%
John Kasich: 9%
Jeb Bush: 6%
Other: 7%
No preference: 1%

New result from yesterday:

Donald Trump: 36%
Ted Cruz: 23%
Marco Rubio: 21%
John Kasich: 8%
Jeb Bush: 4%
Other: 7%
No preference: 0%

Hard to read too much into a small sample, but this would back up the theory that Haley endorsement has pushed Kasich/Jeb voters towards Rubio, and some of Trump is defecting to Cruz/Rubio.

Nevada polls can easily be 20 points off in either direction and all the soft factors point to Bernmentum fwiw. Hillary has the better ground game, but Bernie massively outspent her. I've slowly picked up a decent Bernie position at good odds but looking at it as safe is wrong.

Unless you already cashed out, you won't be able to roll your SC winnings into Dem Nevada. Also Nevada sucks for polling. In 08 or 12 Romey was up 6 in the polls and just crushed the gently caress out of it by almost 40 points. Hillary could be way up or the state could be in the process of Berning to the ground.

Edit: There is a safe Nevada bet though. If you were able to pick up O'Malley NO before he dropped out.

I put in a very small Hillary position. It's not worth gambling a lot on, but I think ultimately fundamentals of the state still favor Hillary over Bernie. It's not going to be a 25 point win, though.

Trump winning Mass fell by 15 cents in the last couple days over the Pope comments. I live in Boston and I don't think it's going to make any difference. Yeah, there are a lot of Catholics here but unlike the south, practically no one votes based on what the church says and anyone here who liked this crypto facist loud mouth reality star in this heavily democratic state isn't going to be shaken by this. The idea that anyone would be OK with his comments on Megyn Kelly, John McCain, Muslims, Mexicans, but say that THIS TIME he went too far is absurd.

Started at 600. Not doing too well so far, (Fiorina dropout, bought some Kasich Yes Dropout shared in hopes the price would go up, but it didn't) but a lot of that was making amateur mistakes to be honest. I'm mostly looking to break even. I moved my money to Bush not getting third, which seems like a pretty safe bet considering the Rubio endorsement bump and Cruz's relatively stable position as either second or third.

Yep, just going to stake my money on ol' Jeb Bush, the guy in the romantic comedy whose fiance leaves him at the altar for someone else.
