Amazing that this market has done nearly another 200 million since the billion mark.
At the end of the day it's just a market, with players trying to improve their position, whichever side of the green/red divide they are on.

I'm starting to think you could well be right. Tbh, when you first wrote it I didn’t give it much of a chance in my mind but it looks like we will very soon see 1.5 billion....

Trump would appear to be totally off his rocker. I"ve seen better conspiracy theories.

He's like a guy who thinks a woman must be a lesbian, if she doesn't fancy him

Some people don't take rejection well, especially if they are use to being successful

Exiting - a guy off his rocker.
Entering- a guy who doesn't know where his rocker is.

Equal opportunity is really a thing.

I don't think Trump is losing his marbles I think he's laying the foundations for when and if he pardons himself and everyone around him.

He's been saying for months now that everything is rigged and everything is fixed so when he pardons himself and is asked "Why would an innocent man pardon himself?" he can say "Everything is rigged and everything is fixed so I'm protecting myself and my family against fake news and hoax charges"

For me he's got something to hide and this is just another way to insulate himself against what's coming

thought id drop a few thought on this election, and Bidens ankle in particular.

1. interesting how Biden, a 78 year old, was pictured standing unaided on his 'booted up' foot, following a supposed sprained ankle. If i remember correctly, Senator John McCain also had one of these, where his leg was so bad he accidentally put it on the wrong leg!

If i were 78, with wafer-thin legs, and had sprained my ankle so bad i needed a boot, i wouldnt be able to support my whole body weight on that leg, whilst stepping up from the road to the pavement, whilst showing absolutely no sign of discomfort. My thoughts are that that boot conceals a bracelet tag, which would make sense if he has been arrested in connection with the stuff on his son's laptop, or indeed the election itself. An interesting theory, and pure speculation obviously!

2. Trump seems remarkably cool for someone who is apparently about to lose the biggest USA election ever, in what is, in my mind at least, clearly a communist coup d'etat

3. putting Amy Cohen Barrett in the Supreme Court a few weeks before the election could be a top strategic move if he knew in advance that the democrats would attempt to cheat. After all, it will most likely end up in the Supreme Court, in my view.

For those reasons, and many more, laying Biden at 1.04 ish is where most of my money is at

Well, those are my thoughts anyway :-)

Good luck all.
