There’s no upside for the Reps. They’ll never vote for it.

Easy money. Surely a Yes… It always happened.

#1582: Anonymous 10-10-13 at 00:05

you sure about that

#1584: Anonymous 10-10-13 at 07:33

It happened 78 times…

#1585: Anonymous 10-10-13 at 12:19

It is already a Yes -> http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/10/us-usa-fiscal-idUSBRE98N11220131010

Unveiled plans do not a lifting make.

#1589: Anonymous 10-10-13 at 22:56

though will prolly resolve to "Yes", if you are heavily long US equities, betting on NO may provide for a very nice hedge in the off-chance that things do go south on the 17th… it’s like buying SPY puts but without paying commissions to a brokerage 🙂

#1590: Anonymous 11-10-13 at 00:39

SPY puts are way overpriced.

#1592: u_igiot 11-10-13 at 06:30

If SPY puts are overpriced why dont you sell them short.
Prices are what they are, neither over or underpriced.

Because I make better money here. Herp.

#1594: Anonymous 11-10-13 at 11:40

exactly what anonymous said: if you think SPY puts are overpriced why don’t you SELL spy puts and make excess off the premiums?

Lol Anon forgot he signed the comment "u_igiot" instead of Anon.

ok sorry– it was early in the morning– i was still sleepy… but it doesn’t change the crux of it

#1604: u_igiot 13-10-13 at 06:42

gimme a break. make more money here rather than selling puts directly. the market here is miniscule size and the real stock exchange puts give you much more choices to make money.

i agree– the market here is rather "shallow"– but maybe some day it will grow… the _idea_ is legit..

The problem was never the Senate, the Socialists have majority there. It’s the Congress that matters.

#1622: Anonymous 17-10-13 at 02:44

The House of Representatives voted 285-144 to clear a measure that now heads to President Barack Obama for his signature. The House vote was less than three hours after the Senate passed the bill, 81-18.
