Fellow mentions traders, I believe this day will go down in mentions history…
Hochul is notorious for her technical glitches, weird Q&A pump fakes, and rugs.
But this… this took a level of craft and expertise that even Leavitt throwing down a closed presser last second couldn’t dream up.
Hochul wasn’t satisfied with a single fake out. She hid her stream link behind several riddles and disguised dead ends. Then, she revealed the link to us and dm’d Jake to add it in Kalshi… and once she did she limited it to 50 people to cause max confusion and immediately said “sorry lol” and dm’d Jake to take it down from the Kalshi website… really a masterful thing of beauty.
I’m glad to have been a part of it. From up $2.5k pre market, down $3k, to settle on $
-$1k down.
A fair price perhaps. But I believe that price was still too low. The experience of this event was priceless.
This event, that will go down in history as the epic “Hochul Double Rug”.
