AI - hold, sell or hedge?
I have 11- Bo and 7- Carrie.
If I hold out, worst case (Carrie wins), is worth $700 and best case is worth $1100 If I liquidated now, its worth $850. So basically I am risking $150 to win $400 on Bo. Getting 2.7:1 on him at this point is a nice price. Or, I could hedge, and buy 4 more Carries for $160, and take 11 each to the finals. $1100 - $160 = $940. So in actuality, I am guaranteed $940 right now, and holding pat, I am risking $240 to win $400. Again, if Bo is the favorite, this is the best line, but how much a favorite is he (if any)? I think Bo is the best AI contestant ever, but Carrie has never been in the bottom 3, and has Simon in her back pocket... this has diminished in recent weeks, but it may be still to close to call... Whats the best move? |

Re: AI - hold, sell or hedge?
I am no expert but I sold my bos at 62 for the following two reasons:
1. I think it might actually be pretty close 2. I thought a decent bit of the price was driven by uncertainty of Carrie/Vonzell so I thought price might drop a bit to high fifties or so in next few days. Just one person's guess. |

Selling them all right now will get you $909. So right now it's more of a 1:1 risk:reward. I'd sell off now and be happy.

If Bo is favored right now then Carrie is the one with the value. IMO this past week was the only week Bo was better than her. This opinion wont be popular around here but it's just that, an opinion.
