Yeah but Naffman was adamant all along Trump was value, no johnny come lately, sometimes you have to acknowledge someone has played a blinder.

What do you think the turnover on the market would have been without Trump? Hate him or love him, has he created a high a liquidity/Volume market?

I'm not sure we will see this again, unless we get a Don Jr.

Naffman looks like being vindicated in grand style.

Haven't a clue what's going on but have a gut feeling that a lot of traders don't either! I'm still hopeful for Biden.
Come on man :D

Biden is still very much in this, his price is coming right back in now. Early vote counting was always expected to favor Trump if the election was competitive.

Note the wild, crazy emotional posts on thread, oh Trump has lost, wow , Trump is gonna win etc. Experienced traders are laughing at you guys.

Well, the high volume of mail-in votes. It takes time to count them all , and more democrats voted by mail.

Rik that is five hours old.

It’s not over ... but it’s also not favourable to Biden.

Just got up, not trading this market, listened to BBC and Sky News while the kettle boiled and got the distinct impression neither channel was prepared to stick their neck out and project a winner. Took coffee to computer and checked the prices on Betfair and ... wow, the market seems to be close to making it's mind up! Do you feel Trump is as close as the market is predicting?

The emotions of this thread have nothing to do with trading, it's all about the future and potential destruction of the planet!!

Huge swings back and forth! :D All you needed was steel balls to go all-in on Biden like I said and you'd have made your fortune!

Biden price right back in to 2.28 ! Biden roaring back for the win!
