Comment on U.S. Senators Vote to Ban Themselves from Trading on Prediction Marketsparent

I find this argument entirely unconvincing.

AWS’s massive outage lead to a significant jump in the stock price.

No single grunt level employee has the power to affect any large company’s share price.

Yeah that’s why I said prediction markets, not stock markets. In a prediction market you’re betting directly on something like “AWS has a major outrage on or before May 12th”.

Oh you're right I misread your comment
