If you are supposed to follow the money, look at InTrade's current numbers: 0 @ $6.71 R @ $3.33

Good luck!!! May God favor the outcome for our Country.

They are yes or no votes. Will Romney win? Yes or No. Will Obama win is an entirely different future one can buy. One is not dependent upon the other; thus the percentages will not match because one can “predict” one without “predicting” against the other.

It pays at $10 per share when the event happens.

Obama is trading for $6.66 per share. No kidding.

Are we supposed to laugh, cry or just load up?

I did buy a lot. I intended to sell after the first debate that Romney won, but R did so well, I kept letting it ride. I could have doubled+ my money at one time, but I’m now all or nothing.

They do not take PayPal because PayPal is based on a credit card. There’s some US law that one cannot place bets with an American based credit card. One has to either send a check or a wire transfer. They pay with either a check or wire... your choice.

I hope to lighten Soros’ pocketbook. Every time Romney starts rising to a realistic level, somebody buys and buys big against him to lower the numbers. I assume it is Soros.

I don’t know what you mean by the American market. It is illegal to participate from inside the borders of the US.

On the first day of a finance class I had with a bunch of rocketheads, the professor said the postulates for building the model we would be using the next nine months. Postulate #1: Markets are rational.

This was shortly after the 87 crash. I asked how was it rational to invest Fri and then sell monday at a 25% loss.

They found a nice seat in the corner for me. Ha ha

That is awesome. You really don't want to take a bit off the table, though?

I wish more people would click on the 0 ads, as well. It costs them (Soros) a bit of change on every click. (Don't keep clicking, though. Your IP address will nulify a whole bunch of clicks.) A click a day can do wonders against a campaign account.

[jwsea55]

Why do you think the numbers are so wacky? Soros isn’t an idiot?

Not true. The quote I posted was from the "Iowa Electronics Market" run by the University of Iowa and it is totally legal. It does however have a cap of $500 per account.

They stole that map from realclearpolitics.com

Can we bet the Social Security Trust Fund on Romney?

RLOL!!! Where is that? When I checked there was expecting to see a gigantic with room with loads of $100. Instead I found just a piece of paper in there with some initials IOU. Do you know what IOU stands for?

"That's as good as money, sir. Those are I.O.U.'s. "

[jwsea55]

Cool. Where do I get some of those IOUs. They seem like they would be pretty handy?

[xrmusn]

Do you know what IOU stands for?

These are the same fools that
call 411 for the number to 911.
OR
Minimum 15 - and showing 3 hands of 5 digits each.

These are the guys that vote ONCE - or twice - or three times dependent upon their district and its needs....

[FreedomPoster]

Exactly correct, first person to nail it.

There’s a lot of brain damage for a U.S. person to set up an account and bet. This mostly represents what foreigners think based on the foreign press.

[jwsea55]

call 411 for the number to 911

Does 411 have the 911 number now? I thought 911 was still an unlisted number. :-)
