I guess you mean "fine" as in "legal", not "fine" as in "ethically unobjectionable".

  What is unethical about it? The reason publishing poll results is forbidden because they could affect the outcome of the election. If you do polls only for private use that's not the case.

  What is ethically objectionable about rich people gambling against other rich people, and some of them winning? It's not like these funds stole money directly from normal people.

    In fact the money probably benefited some normal people. Tons of university endowments, sovereign wealth funds, and pension funds invest in hedge funds.

      Given where the money they won comes from, surely an equal value (plus overhead) was lost by similar organisations?
• mruts 8y ago
  Care to explain what you find is objectionable about this? I love stuff like this. Finance is an art.
