NEW TRADE: Measles Cases Market @Kalshi
Pulled CDC week-by-week data and ran a fwd model to check how realistic is for total US measles cases to be above 2,000 this yr
1) outbreak has already collapsed
– Classic wave → plateau → collapse structure; weekly cases falling 40 → 18 → 3
– No evidence of new transmission chains forming; a yr-end spike would need to reverse a the contraction
2) fwd scenarios using weekly additions
– Low case: +5/week
– Base case: +20/week
– Outbreak case: +50/week
3) results across all paths
– Low ends ~1,828
– Base ends ~1,918
– Even the 50/week stress scenario peaks ~2,098
To justify >2000 with confidence, you’d need 70–100 cases/week, don't think happening this late in the curve
our read
Market pricing for “Above 2000” looks optimistic. With six reporting weeks left and the outbreak curve collapsing, the >2000 outcome seems overestimated.

NEW TRADE: Jordan 8 Bugs Bunny 7-day-Av. price @Kalshi
>IMO they'll prob hit the ~$220 / $240 range<
>grabbed some @stockx comps + built tiered pricing to bench where BBs should land
>left side=compset + rationale
>right side=retail vs Av.-7day sell $ for Tier1 & Tier2
Approach
>bucketed relevant Jordan 8s releases into Tier1 & 2 based on demand profile & Av.-7day sell $ / Retail ratio
>benched BBs early data: $210 retail price, last sale ~$250 (+19%), Av. sell $ / Retail ~1.18x
View
>>BBs trending closer to Tier1, not Tier2
>> Av. sell $ appears to be above @Kalshi 's strikes
Trade
