Damn that Hillary Clinton

I must admit, Hillary Clinton surprised the crap out of me, Tuesday. I figured that she was dead meet in Texas, and that she was most likely going to lose Ohio by a small margin. I believed in this enough to make a more than marginal bet on Obama in these primaries. (You can bet fake money on the political outcomes Wall Street Journal Intrade app) When Shillary won, I went from a balance that was just shy of $10,000 to a balance that is barely above $7,000. (Damn, a Reschly can’t even fake invest good)

I was sure Obama was going to win; hell, I’m a big time McCain supported, and I like this guy. (Polls show Obama cleaning McCain’s clock and McCain beating ole Shrill Hillary) How his team let Texas, and a 12 state winning steak, slip away is beyond me. We all know Ohio is filled with boobs (I, as a Boilermaker, hate all things Ohio), but Texas disappoints.

Anywho (stole that one from Luke), I have since made a huge play on the position that Bernake will have the Fed Funds rate above 3.0% by the end of 2008. Hopefully his Republican ass will see the light of day on inflation and start raising the Funds rate. (Lowering it has done jacksh*t on adverting disaster in the credit markets)

Later,
