I believe the LA Times story has been pretty well-established to be the Hillary-Huma rumor.
On the other hand, doesn’t the following possibly point to investment/manipulation of the market against Thompson?
“Another reason Thompson is tanking, at least on here, is just the massive short interest that has piled up. I mean there are people putting some serious $XXXX figure wagers, and hundreds of lots short on him.
Most contracts just draw 1 to 50 size lot orders. There are some people out there who *really* have no faith in Thompson.”

***Well, since I can’t really comment on that here in full on FR, that link and the forum will be about all I could suggest as an unbiased place to discuss the impact of that rumor on campaigns. If it is the Hillary-Huma rumor, that would be fantastic.

***Not at all. If anything it shows the opposite, just as you say: There are some people out there who *really* have no faith in Thompson. Today, Fred is at 5.9 after a ~30 point drop over the last few weeks. It’s actually showing signs of stability after that drop. The market is doing its job.
