Analysis

5d ago

Poole is priced at a severe discount (5¢) with an absurd 21,200% implied yield, suggesting either extreme illiquidity or a near-zero consensus probability among serious traders. The 9¢ spread and minimal $8.35k daily volume indicate this is a thin market where even small trades could move the price dramatically, and the 4,147% realized volatility confirms wild swings—the price dropped 2¢ in just seven days despite the market's neutral regime. With only 33 days to resolution and a Cliff Risk Index of 19, this contract faces significant tail risk as the May 19 primary approaches, making the headline yield largely illusory given execution risk.

Resolution rules

Any replacement of the nominee before election day will not change the resolution of the market.
