US Election 2020 Thread

Hi all,

Some info on what to expect this evening. Obviously these are my views, and should be taken as such (not advice etc).

Good luck!

 

Many states now on a knife-edge  - meaning this could easily turn into a landslide (hate the term) at the slightest shift.

 

The “Toss-up” States

High quality polls seem to be putting Texas & Nevada out Biden & Trump’s reach respectively. Yes Texas might swing, but no point reading this if it does.

Georgia may spike the Trump campaign. It is still marginal “Toss-up” / Lean Rep. due to a late drift to Biden, does appear this will revert to mean (not many high quality polls).

North Carolina remains the most important state of the night (it’s out early – without it Trump cannot win)[1].

Ohio is, as usual, vital. Trump does just seem to be edging it here – again it’s a must win.

Pennsylvania (Biden’s backyard) has been getting all the love /media attention recently. Trump is struggling to catch Biden here.

For Trump to win either the polling is very inaccurate (more so than 2016), or turnout surges heavily in his favour.

Even the Trafalgar group have Trump struggling here in all but their most recent polls. Without PA again he can’t win[2].

Florida is Florida, Trump looks competitive, but must win it. Biden can live without, but might indicate where Arizona falls.

 

MI, WI, AZ

Michigan & Wisconsin now look very difficult for Trump (Biden 4-6pts ahead in high quality polls). If Biden’s winning elsewhere its safe to write these off.

Final sting in the tail is Arizona – if Trump’s losing elsewhere then this is largely moot. Assuming he’s won Ohio, Florida & one more of the above, Arizona may still trip him up. -this hasn’t change, it’s close.

 

“What if the polls are wrong?”

 

They’d have to be very wrong – in a way that ruins credibility of the major pollsters. A high turnout (now inevitable) will skew this to an extent.

The “shy tory” phenomenon of 2015 fame has reappeared in the vocabulary of American pundits. There is little hard evidence of this in the states (plenty of anecdotal evidence). This & turnout will still likely be the talking points overnight.

 

 

Why are betting odds for Trump shorter than polls suggest?

Probably combination of Trump buyers & the above.

[1] Yes it’s *possible*- but you’d be 0 bid on the chance.

[2] Also 0 bid on Trump winning without it.

Never traded over an election nevermind one like this! Said to myself don't do anything until there is a winner but of course didn't do that. Looks choppy for a while.

US indices look like gaping up on the open on what is essentially a hung election that may take weeks to sort out.

The reaction on the tighter result scared me this morning. Looking for a longer term recovery after last week's dip but God knows now. Everyone just calm down and take a breath, don't panic..

If you look at the url itself:

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/number-of-registered-voters-by-state

You can see how there isn't any column labeled %Turnout. Your picture is not only fake, it is cooked to spot people that don't check any data behind it.

Also the registered column doesn't match with what the website is showing. 

And if you look at the picture you will see there was more than one source sited and so the final tally was a composite from different sources one or more of which may have changed since the snapshot data was taken to make the composite.

oh dear, this just gets worse ...

ok I just wanted to leave the url there so people can check data for themselves and don't fall into your propaganda.

I am going to let you continue with your memes. Don't mind me.

oh dear, here's footage from CNN who had a data hook up tracking the count with a delay of just one second showing an update that gave the Dems plus several hundred votes while removing several hundred from the Reps, electronic vote counters can't do that unless rigged.

Hey @PlumptiousPatricia

I posted this to inform community members. The reason I ask is to open up a discussion. 

I can't have an opinion on this forum as I work for IG and we're not able to advise or influence trading.  

All the best

    • Raydium (RAY) has been making headlines, outperforming Uniswap in trading volume and solidifying its position in the DeFi space. Currently priced at $5.20, RAY has surged by 13.17% in the past 24 hours. As Solana’s decentralized exchange (DEX) dominates the market, Raydium’s unique features, low transaction fees, and growing adoption are driving its upward momentum. If RAY maintains its upward trajectory and capitalizes on the growing demand for decentralized exchanges, hitting $11 is possible. What is Raydium ? Raydium (RAY), an automated market maker (AMM) built on the Solana blockchain, is making waves in the decentralized finance (DeFi) world. With its unique features, such as yield generation and liquidity pools, Raydium offers users the ability to trade digital assets efficiently. What makes Raydium stand out is its integration with the Serum decentralized exchange (DEX), which allows users to convert their deposits into limit orders on Serum’s order books.  As the Solana blockchain continues to grow in popularity, Raydium is positioned to benefit from its speed and low fees.

In November, Raydium’s trading volumes were 30% higher than Uniswap’s, reaching $30 billion in transactions. Raydium benefits from Solana’s fast, low-cost transactions, making it an attractive choice over Ethereum-based Uniswap, especially during times of high network congestion. Raydium crypto success can be attributed to its growing role in the Solana ecosystem, where it captures over 60% of daily DEX volume. This dominance is helping Raydium become a go-to platform for DeFi applications and emerging projects within the Solana network. Raydium price has seen increased market interest after outperforming Uniswap in monthly trading volumes. Currently priced at $5.20, it boasts a market cap of $1.6 billion and 24-hour trading volume of $115 million.
