Whoa. Investors have catapulted Biden to double Sanders chance for nomination

From Predictwise:

Democratic Nomination:

Clinton - 64% (Lowest ever)
Biden - 24% (Highest ever)
Sanders - 11% (Steady as he goes)

Chance to be president:

Clinton - 43% (off from 45%, but Jeb in 2nd is only at 15%)
Biden - 11%
Sanders - 6% (Either steady or off from 8%. Can't remember number from last time I checked)

1. Since I consider that Bernie is the only safe investment for the future, I will stick with him.

I can see why gamblers would stick with Wall Street darlings, though. From that point of view, Hillary and Biden are certainly good investments.

As soon as Joe says he won't be running, which is coming soon I believe, Hillary's numbers will go up to about 80%.

Although as of right now it's back to 68-21-10, still a remarkable rise by Biden.

5. Think some Clinton investors dumped shares late last night and picked up Biden at a low price

This morning other investors started picking up Clinton shares at what was seen as a bargain. However, Biden is at a new point where the wider market isn't comfortable shorting or buying this early in the day.

Good times.
