Does anyone know if it is allowed to “short” on intrade?
I suspect they don’t. If they did, if someone is pumping up 0bama’s odds as is strongly suspected, if shorting were allowed, smart money would take that side of the trade. That and also how delusional the Europeans are with their leftist bias.
Wouldn’t buying Romney shares be the same thing as shorting Obama shares?
Check the site. Hint (for those of you in Rio Linda): selling short is selling shares you don't own.
