Brag Post
I just cashed out $415.87 from the InTrade prediction marketplace.
I deposited $100 there earlier this year so I could play in the election markets. I made a series of plays on big favorites, slowly building my stake from $100 to $146. In the primaries I shorted Fred Thompson (he was pathetic). I shorted Rudy Giuliani (he was scary). I bet against a US/Israeli air strike on Iran. I made a small profit going long Ron Paul in the early days of his campaign.
Then I put everything on Hillary Clinton to win it all. I figured she was a lock to beat anyone the Republicans would run. But her share price began to fall. I booked a small loss and moved to the sidelines for a week to try and figure out just what was happening.
That was the first time I took notice of Obama. He looked good. Here was a real candidate. I put everything on Obama to win the presidency. At the time his share price was $32.20. I held him all the way and last night he closed at $100 a share. I love politics.
