You can bet on anything now. I just got this from AI:

Polymarket allows betting on a vast array of topics, from politics and sports to economics, entertainment, and global events, functioning as a “Swiss Army knife” for future outcomes by letting users trade shares on whether something will happen, though it’s crucial to know they operate outside traditional gambling regulations and may face access issues in some countries like Australia.

Yes, you can bet on market events related to a potential crash on Polymarket, though direct “crash” markets are less common than specific metrics or events like a NYSE circuit breaker event or a US recession. Polymarket also has an active market on the date of a potential AI bubble collapse, with traders currently seeing a roughly 32% chance it bursts by the end of 2026.

My response. It will be much sooner than that. I should probably put money on it happening on day 66 of 2026 (lolz) or on Saturday, March 7, 2026 the previous tech bubble collapsed on 10 March 2000 (dot.com bubble). If I had a dime I would place a bet.

Contango is a market condition where the futures price of oil is higher than its current spot price. This market structure is closely tied to the physical oil supply, typically indicating a well-supplied market with high inventories and a current oversupply or weak near-term demand.
Contango is the opposite of Backwardation: The opposite market condition is backwardation, where the spot price is higher than the futures price. Backwardation usually indicates a tight supply or strong immediate demand for oil, as buyers are willing to pay a premium for prompt delivery.
