Finally! A spam proof poll!

He just dropped way down to 803.

What does that mean?

 

[Nyte]

it means someone at Rasmussen is manipulating the numbers.

 

[beobeli]

This thing is rigged.

We are back to 8 in a snap after being at 25-26 and with 1000s of shares up for bid in 8 - 25 range. This means that someone decided to sell so many cheap shares into the market that we dragged Paul's price down. Almost impossibility if this wasn't rigged. I am boycotting this BS.

 

[Jason0352]

Yeah this is bullshit. The orderbook (level3) 5 minutes ago showed good BID support from $15-$21. Totally manipulated.

I'd have to agree it's fishy. If someone observed us paying ridiculous prices, they would wait for us to come up rather than sell down.

But don't give up!

 

[Nyte]

notice how trading pauses every once in a while... then you get all these 200, 300, 400 (even number) trades forcing the price down.

 

[promagma]

As long as it manages to hold 7-8, I don't think it is rigged. As it gets later, the momentum dried up and the shorts took advantage. But remember, they are now sitting on large short positions, and that means they have to *buy* again to unwind.

 

[Nyte]

lol how can you say it's not rigged?

These shorts are coming out of thin air... There's no way in hell the floor falls out as fast as it's doing.

 

[beobeli]

I think it is rigged.

But let's use it to make as much money as possible then we can command/short price of other shares. Basically, place multiple orders for selling Paul in 17-40 range , and have large buying orders for Paul at 8-9 range. As the price goes up, you cash in, then you buy again low when Rasmussen does their "adjustment". If the adjustment slows down, we can begin raising this buy back share price to provide floor support for Paul.

By offering to by low, someone needs to be willing to sell you low. Perhaps some dumb Huck traders are shorting all they got on Paul at 8.3/share. That is fine, but once we suck all their money out of them, they'll have zero weapons. Then we win.

Rasmussen has a disclaimer: Warning: People attempting to gain advantage using unfair practices will be excluded from the leaderboard.

I guess this means that they reserve a right to rig the system. It's not "unfair practice" for a market to be hot on a particular stock/candidate. WTF.

 

[RonPaulCult]

Of course this is fixed. So in reality it has gone up like 50 dollars a share today

 

[beobeli]

Yeah... shorting shares "out of thin air" would be a rigging tactic.
Rasmussen = Federal Reserve.

We can play this "game" forever and make money. But if you try to use that money to short "losers" there is going to be buying of shares again "out of thin air" to bail out losers. (Again Rasmussen = Federal Reserve)

What is Rasmussen really trying to measure here? Perhaps they want to take us away from more important things we could be doing for Paul.

In any case, I can't wait for Iowa and NH. That will be a real "market" unless that is rigged too.

 

[JohnnyWrath]

blimp

 

[jdmetz]

I'm definitely suspicious. It will reserve $7 if you sell at 30, but only reserve $3 if you buy at 30. There would have needed to be a lot of people selling hiim off between 12:15 and 12:30 to bring him down from the 30's to the 8-9 region. Unfortunately, the Time & Sales data won't display back past 12:35pm for me.

 

[mbrebstock]

if you already have the stocks you do not have to have the 7 dollars to sell it. you just can do it. and its really not that big risk at this moment to sell ron paul at 30 (in 2 weeks this may be different)

 

[mbrebstock]

perhaps there are some new people who wanna join?

 

[MrOblivious]

Cool

This is actually pretty cool. Thanks for the link.

 

[jufreese]

they have the exact same thing at www.realclearpolitics.com under fantasy '08

 

[promagma]

You start with $10,000 can only buy $499 worth at a time. So don't just buy once, keep on placing orders for 400 until you are out of money.

 

[Mastiff]

I'm an idiot I guess, how does this thing work? I went in and said I'd buy 499 contracts at 50% and I still have no positions. Shouldn't it go through right away? It's been like 15 minutes.

 

[mbrebstock]

after all this fox trouble today - you should perhaps play a little - send ron paul to the top

after iowa the shares will explode
