it seems retarded that they use notations like "34.5" when they really mean 3.45 then. i assumed they were $100 contracts from that.

Me too originally..... That being said "investing" is a percentage game, so the contract value doesnt mean that much, if there is volume to trade

yes, but when shorting a long shot you need too much cash on site for these numbers in a $100 pay

I posted last week or so that I read a thread on the AI boards that some people claimed that Mario was well known around the NYC gay club circuit. I would assume there are plenty of drug abuse or sexual deviant behavior stories related.

If there was an arrest on record, these guys at Smoking Gun will have it uncovered soon...

Matt Drudge is reporting that Mario did not want to be tied to exclusive IDOL contract. I don't know if I believe that because I thought he would already be tied to a contract (for at least awhile) just appearing on the show.

to reword, according to drudge:

mario is convinced, with 11 competitors remaining, AND after 2 lackluster performances, that he will make more money by NOT being the american idol and it's best to get out of the contract now.

i guess that's plausible.

I covered mario shorts 1/2 at .5 and 1/2 at .3 and have moved the profits into Nadia, Anwar and Bo......... It wasnt a home run in terms of dollars, but a nice quick safe trade none the less

BAck from the DEAD..I had 15 shares of nikko and shed a tear when he got booted. Considering I only have 300 bucks in this thing it was a good cry. Now I might have a chance to make money on that mope.

i'm sure the market will be expecting him to get voted off first. he's going to need a good performance to have worth.

Who do you guys think will get mario's voters?

astroglide · #69 03-14-2005, 02:12 AM

i think bo will pick up the lion's share of mario's votes

I don't know what you're watching but ever single one one of his performaces is pretty good. And last time I checked the girls are combined with the boys...and the whole back from the dead thing has to be worth at least a few votes. Don't rain on my parade just for fun..back it up..
