They make it easy to get money in, hard to get out. What do you think of the McCain hedge?AXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884523657411376448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352945028936683227.post-9462123672083067962008-05-13T18:39:00.000-07:002008-05-13T18:39:00.000-07:00FYI Intrade does not allow credit card sign-ups. ...FYI Intrade does not allow credit card sign-ups. Instead, it looks as though they need bank account info. I will read into other options for instance wiring money etc. For some reason, I just don't like giving my bank account out to people in other countries!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04129109858371805563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352945028936683227.post-84869748291763953492008-05-12T17:24:00.000-07:002008-05-12T17:24:00.000-07:00Interesting article on itulip from John Williams o...Interesting article on itulip from John Williams of Shadowstats.com. He notes that no incumbent party since 1908 has won an election in a year in which GDP was growing at less than 3.3%. Ain't no way that's happening. However, if you believe McCain will win, you are looking at better than a 150% return in 6 months, not bad. I will work out some sort of hedge this week and post. Thanks!AXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884523657411376448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352945028936683227.post-17517739236968885162008-05-12T17:21:00.000-07:002008-05-12T17:21:00.000-07:00Ax...

In the end, there are too many retail buildings. couple that with a recession that we are currently in...and you have a group of real estate "investors" that will be left holding the bag. I do think areas like Houston, and Tulsa will continue to do well due to the oil market in those areas.<BR/><BR/>MA and V are a couple of bubbles. Check on the Anti-Trust problems MA is having in Europe. The US is always behind the curve in any type of regulation. Throw in the current bill that is in the house of reps. and you have a sticky situation for all those pigs that are cannibalizing the "poor defenseless consumers". It is a business that is way too easy to vilify...watch the Presidential debates on these guys...just you wait!<BR/><BR/>Intrade is pretty sweet. I signed up for an account. While I have not made this play yet, my prediction is that McCain will be a ONE term President... While I think any of the candidates would do a reasonable job...it just seems likely that whoever the Dems put up this time are going to be in a bit of trouble. I will write more on this subject in a future blog.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04129109858371805563noreply@blogger.com
