About the bailout being turned down
Sep. 29th, 2008 10:21 pmIntrade have had a market open for a few days on whether the bailout would go ahead by 30 Sep, and it's gone no higher than a 25% chance in the last 24 hours.
On the same page you'll find another market for whether we'll get one by 31 October, and that's still at 76%.
So at least some people who knew that this vote wasn't going to pass think there's going to be a bailout but not yet.
Also, scary fact from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spyinthehaus: the cost of the bailout is roughly four times the value of all the gold in Fort Knox.
