I'm actually really bitter that trade didn't go through, could have tripled up. Ah well, what does money mean in a post-sanity world?

Because everything else has gone god loving awful tonight, and I bet a lot of Trump backers have money to burn.

I said PA was going to be in play many posts ago... not enough votes out of Philly.

I made $100 tonight but I don't really feel like a winner with these results.

I'm glad I didn't deposit anything I couldn't afford to lose. I'm also glad a bit of my money was in Nevada instead of national.

I'm not glad of much else these days.







Hey... uh. Part of me is darkly curious and self-destructive. Did anybody save links for those people who "blew their life savings" on trump? Who are likely quite rich now?

I'm gonna guess the guys who bet their monthly rent on a gambling site probably don't have 401ks, as funny as that would be.

Yeah I took a pretty massive hit but my REP.370.NO, Virginia, and all the Republican contenders (and Bernie) that I bought against at their peaks and still hold shares of will act as a nice consolation prize. Will only be down $400 of my initial buy-in when I first started here.

the only thing I have to be thankful for is that I pussied out at dropping real money in anything after the comey dip. Didn't lose enough for it to sting, but that's probably the end of me finding predictit fun to play :(

I tried to liquidate like 30 seconds after he posted that, and I couldn't get a sell through at a reasonable price (I guess single digits seems reasonable now, but at the time I wasn't going to sell for less than 20). Well I sold like 50 out of 1000 shares or so.

So don't feel too bad, the site was way slow then.

I had a nice chunk of money tied up in my PI account. Maxed in the national markets and a couple others. But I said gently caress it and sold for a massive lose eventually. Not even interested in trying to make it back. I started and continued to trade on PI because it was fun for a politics nerd and this thread was fun for talking about our penny stocks and gains/loses.

It stopped being fun when I had to start trying to wrap my head around 4 years of a trump presidency.

Either way you guys made betting on politics during the primaries more fun than it should have been. Ride together die together. :rip: this time
