This is of course wild speculation but an interesting sidebet nonetheless. Was dissapointed I didn't buy those Dec 15 puts at 0.30 earlier this month. They hit 1.50 the other day on JPM's 10% gap down selloff. Of course that's hindsight. You can't spend these "nice calls".

Over 50 million people across the Middle East, the Balkans and Western Europe are stuck down from radiation sickness carried thousands of miles by the wind. Dozens of smaller nations collapse into anarchy, with no medical assistance, 5 million mostly innocent people die.

George Bush doesn't get re-elected. But his families oil interests rise substantially in value, giving him a nice little retirement package.

And Gore is elected President but admits it is too rough for him
and gives a speech while he is crying like a baby saying "I can't
take it anymore" and quits the Presidency in shame...

:D

As you can imagine, Gore being elected President is the most
Wild Speculation! anyone could think of...

:p
 
Runningbear, we are looking for ‘wild speculations’ not ‘realistic/most likely speculations’.

Some people are just too smart for their own good.
