Yesterday afternoon when we were all worried (me too) and the MSM was fibbing again with those exit polls,freepers were watching Tradesports and seeing bush crash-18 or so i forget.boy some could have made alot of $$$$$ to help our economy :)
Yup... i got in at 35... turned $500 into $1428.
I foresee a ton of lawsuites being filed by those who traded on the early exit poll bias report. If it is proven that there was bias involved, that company is Chapter 7.
Yes, I saw someone make a post yesterday after someone posted a thread about Bush "tanking" saying: looks like a good time to invest in Bush. That person may be rich today :)
Nice work if you can get it. :-)
It sounded like a no-brainer of a trade.
Congrats on the successful trade!
It was like candy from a baby. Once I saw the internals of the exit poll, i kept buy all the way down into the 20's.
And the individual states - who in their right mind is selling low 20's /high teens on Iowa/WI/any battleground state BEFORE THE POLLS ARE CLOSED? I'd like to thank them for the beer money they provided me.
I sure was tempted. Wonder if Drudge played...
How about this I had +500 on Kerry +180, sold it, put all my money into Bush like at +200
Damn! I wish I would have bought some. I was so damn nervous yesterday afternoon that I didn't.
Yep, bought 10 of Bush at $2.80, sold a few hours later at $7.50. Tripled my grocery budget for the week!
Good for you,and just think maybe the "other money" was from soros or europe!!!
The tradesports market is small-money liquidity, and a player like soros wouldn't bother with it. The sharp decline in bush contracts was due to the horrible negative publicity from the exit polls.
I wish I had pre-funded a tradesports account...they don't make it easy to get more than $250 in via credit card the first day, but there were terrible inefficiencies in their political contracts market which a person could have exploited.
