House Majority Call By Election Night — 100% IY at 83c Is Pure Carry

M3, M4, and M5 each price at 83¢ with 100% implied yield and $2,230-$2,420 in 24h volume, resolving in 75 days. At 83¢ on a near-certain outcome (highlights peg Democrats at 84¢ for House control), the annualized carry is extraordinary. M1 and M7 offer the same trade at 85¢ with 81% IY and $4,141+ volume — deeper liquidity for larger size. This is a yield harvesting position, not a directional bet.

Democrats are heavily favored to retake the House at 84¢ while Senate control sits at a near coin-flip (52¢ GOP). The M-series House majority contracts are clustered at 83-85¢ with IY ranging from 81-100%, meaning the carry alone justifies the position while the binary event approaches. The contrarian play is fading the Democratic Senate overconfidence given GOP structural advantages in the map.
