Yeah, the bottom just fell out on Romney.

Interesting. Here are some of the trades on Romney's stock:
Jan 29, 6:07:22 PM EST 116 Lots @ 29 Price is lower then before Jan 29, 6:06:48 PM EST 1 Lots @ 29.1 Price is greater then before Jan 29, 6:06:48 PM EST 68 Lots @ 29 Price is lower then before Jan 29, 6:05:28 PM EST 2 Lots @ 29.1 Price is lower then before Jan 29, 6:03:18 PM EST 3 Lots @ 31.1 Price is same as before Looks like two people recently gave up on a substantial amount of their shares.

Welcome, Rep nominee McCain. Not one to stir up your passions about. Whoopee, another non-businessman, career politician. Yippee.
McCain Clinton, boooooorrrring.

Woah, McCain's numbers are going back down. They were at 68 a minute ago, and just dropped back down to 63.
Do you think that maybe nobody knows?

Quote:
Most people forget that the majority of the Republican primaries are closed. That blunts the effect of independents. Also, Obama is going to be competing in those states where independents might be allowed to vote in the Republican primary (unlike Florida, where he has been totally absent). That will suck votes away from McCain like a Hoover. McCain isn't popular amongst the base, and the base is still going to pick the nominee. You will see a lot of negative ads running about McCain from unidentified groups if he wins today. The elite of the Republican party will find ways to sabotage his campaign, and McCain is also prone to being a bit crazy from time to time. He won't win the nomination. Bank on it. |

You posted this while I was typing, but it just reinforces my opinion. I don't think the markets are much of a predictor, and I am not too surprised they are all over the place right now. There isn't a ton of information available, so many may be seeing slight trends in the pricing, think they are based on "insider info" and go crazy with their trading based off of the non-existant insider info. When it gets totally out of whack, it crashes down the opposite direction.

It's strange. A lot a volatility. It could be that the exit polls are indeed favorable to McCain but some traders are skeptical of the exit polls given the turnout or the amount of absentee ballots

Seems like to me there's a little too much faith being put in Intrade, and I'm not just saying that because my preferred candidate is down.
