Trading in prediction markets has become a key part of my investment strategy. It's a natural complement to equity and commodity futures. Both offer real-time trading, good liquidity, and reward those who put in the work.
The abundance of both contracts and participants in prediction markets gives a special advantgage in getting a fast read of market sentiment. The readings feel more secure coming from a large crowd of non-professionals.
This type of trading fits in well with the CFTC mission protecting market users.
Positions can be quickly closed, limiting losses when markets go against what was expected, with little fear of counterparty risk. A far cry from state-regulated casino gambling where the house has the advantage and fast exits are difficult.
Prediction markets have become a greatly appreciated source of both income and fun for me. Please continue your good work of regulating and defending these markets
