It’s election season in North America. I recently won a chunk of change on Canada’s Federal election, and now thanks to someones serious tampering with the Intrade McCain contracts i’m set to come out pretty well with an Obama victory as well.

What’s next after that? Iraqi elections? I think Georgia is due for one soon. I’m going to bet on whoever gets the Putin seal of approval.

Elections suck, your vote doesn’t make much of a difference in the our antiquated voting systems. Might as well make some money on them!

Apparently SG has violated a few aspects of French labour law in dismissing Kerviel. Not only have they not had a meeting with him to explain why he was fired, they also have not proven he did what he was alleged to have done. On top of that get this- According to the Times UK

“Mr Kerviel’s massive gambles on markets were actually in the black when his bosses stepped in. The losses only occurred when SocGen sought to unwind his gambles.”

So not only was this guy playing fun games with billions, he was making his masters money until they tried to figure it out. Once again we learn to leave the math guys alone as long as the black box keeps spitting out money.
