Profit from Gore's decision not to run by short selling Gore futures

[Jonathan Pollard]

Jzodda claims to have insider information that Gore will not run.

Assuming what Jzodda says is true, you can short sell Al Gore Democratic nomination contracts on Intrade and get over an 8 percent return on your investment. The contract will go to near 0 when it becomes perfectly clear that Gore will have no hope of getting the nomination, which will be on October 23 which is the deadline for the Michigan primary. Michigan is one of only 2 states that Gore is leading in the polls. I've shorted thousands of dollars worth of that contract myself already. An 8 percent return on your investment in less than 1 month tranlates to a more than 90 percent annualized return on your money.

4. Or, he decides that the only way to save his stock after we all short it is for him to run.

Or...

We just passive-aggressively punish him for not running by shorting his stock.
