Has no one put ANY money on anything Hunter?

Looking at the advanced graphing, there has been no significant activity since mid-October (and that looks like a one-day spike), and the share price has been constant at the minimum trade value: $0.10.

What Kevmo fails to understand is that a political futures market is not the same as a commodities market. Eventually, one of those contracts is going to be worth $1.00 a share, and all of the others will be a $0.00 a share. There is no proportional payout based on votes or delegates received -- it's all or nothing.

Since there is no conceivable way the Hunter contract is going to be the one contract priced at $1.00 in the end, the market has already assumed that it is worth $0.00 a share, and no one (not suffering from wishful thinking) is going to pay more than that.
