Le mail : A contract on Saddam

« Do you think America will take Saddam Hussein out ? How long will it take ? The opinion polls suggest America believes the Iraqi dictator’s days are numbered. That belief is mirrored in data from the online trading exchange, Trade Sports .

When it comes to war, the United States can summon a remarkably high level of patriotism. Presidents ride high in the polls. The latest opinion polls show that 48 percent of Americans would back the use of armed force to topple Saddam Hussein, even if such action resulted in thousands of US casualties, with 36 percent opposed.

The truth about polls, however, is that they can be skewed by all kinds of factors. Sometimes, a man stopped on the street will tell a pollster what he thinks he should be saying, rather than what he truly believes himself.

Opinions backed by hard earned cash are about as genuine as you can get.

Trade Sports is an online trading exchange that up to now has restricted itself to contracts on sports. It has been particularly successful with its contracts on the new NFL season, with thousands of contracts bought and sold for each match. Over 3.5 mln contracts have been traded over its exchange since launch or $36,000,000 in risk capital.

Just like the New York Stock Exchange, there are buyers and sellers. I like the Giants at Arizona on Sunday, you like the Cardinals. The exchange offers a contract on the Giants to win and it’s currently trading at 59 (our of 100 or approximately 4/6). That means the market thinks the Giants have a 59% chance of winning. I buy 100 Giants contracts, you sell 100. If the Giants win, the exchange settles them at 100. I make 41 ’ticks’ (100 minus 59), which gives me $410 ($.10 a tick X 41 X 100). If the Giants lose, I drop $590 and you make the same amount.

The latest development is that traders can now trade politics. One intriguing contract is based on whether Saddam will be in power by the end of December, March 2003 or June 2003. On Tuesday 24 September the market had the contract for him not to be Iraqi leader on 31 December trading at 23. That was down a noticeable four points on the previous close.

What does it mean ? Perhaps it means traders are becoming sceptical about the prospects of a mooted strike.

Interestingly, however, the contract on Saddam not to be leader by March 31, 2003 was trading at 60 (4/6). Add another three months, with a contract on him not being in power come June 30, 2003, and the price rises to 80 (1/4). That means the market is saying he only has a 20 percent chance of still being the Iraqi ruler on that date.

Just as football fans tend to trade on their favourite team, sometimes against all the best evidence, is there a possibility that some traders could be swayed by patriotic feelings ?

The fact is that Saddam Hussein has been president and dictator of Iraq since 1979. In August of 1990 Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait. A US-led alliance kicked his forces out of Kuwait in the Gulf War. That war ended in February of 1991, with Saddam still in power. More than 11 years on, his reign continues.

Meanwhile, the world outside of America is unsure about whether attacking Iraq is the correct course of action, although in recent days rhetoric suggest others may be falling into line with the US. Given all we know, is it possible - even probable - that the market is too bullish on the chances of Saddam not being in power in December, let alone 80 bid (1/4) for June ’03 ?

Whatever happens, it will be interesting to see how these contracts trade on Trade Sports over the coming weeks. »

Un site porno propose des scènes entre des femmes irakiennes et des soldats américains. Sur le site en question, dont j’ai préféré ne pas répercuter l’url, il est préciser que les scenes sont purement fictionnelles. Question : qui peut imaginer de telles fictions ?
