2008 Presidential Election



OK, so we are down to the line with tomorrow being the day of truth for people to cast their thoughts in stone at the polls.
Above is an interesting thing i'd like to call opportunity? So, if i vote one way and put my money on another, guess it just calls me a gambler. the "what if" factor is the driving force...evil driving force behind this scheming. but what if McCain wins? at the present time that's $89/share! If this was as popular as it could be, we could get into a moral issue for this election. driving down McCains stock and voting for him to get a quick fattening of the pocket would be a sneaky underscheme if you ask me. but, could it be a trixy underground ploy for major investors? if someone invested $55,000.00 in McCain (which they would probably consider chump change) and McCain wins, they now gain $445,000.00, giving them a grand total of $500,000.00 in their ever expanding pockets! that's a little over an 800% gain! WTF!
you know what...my bad! it's cents! but, even so, it's still worth the effort. ok, so let's just go with an even $50k. that's roughly 8 shares per dollar invested. so...$50k*8=400,000 shares*$.89 increase/share=$356,000.00 gain if McCain wins. that's still nothing to scoff at!
