It is called hedging.

Basically, if Obama wins, we will all take it in the shorts.

So, why not hedge that by winning some money if Obama wins.

Think of Intrade:

It is a free market. Anyone in the world can invest in it (except I think for Americans - not sure about that)

Communist China. Russia. Iran. Anyone.

Soros.

Imagine a tiny market, in a big international world seeking to advance a political agenda, but not having legal American resources to do so.

That IMHO is what is happening.

Intrade is being played.

I hope some real contrary money takes huge advantage of this, it is an opportunity just waiting for someone to take huge advantage of.

Yeah, I’ve considered that issue myself.
