Trump has apparently been considering a decree to stop them flying at half mast for the death of Jimmy Carter at his inauguration because "nobody wants to see it." It's uncertain if he'll be able to do so.

Resolves YES if flags are still flying at half staff for the inauguration, and NO if they're not.

Hmm. I am a newbie. I am in the market as described in the title, but am I to understand that it is standard for the market to resolve diametrically opposed to the title of the market? What advice would more experienced traders give to me, a newbie in my situation? Nevermind. Read the axios story. I'll stay on my position to leave myself a memory imprint for the future

@JussiVilleHeiskanen It can happen when something unexpected (or very silly) happens. I expected them to fly at half mast until I saw the axios story!

@Marnix I'm confused, I thought it was Biden's call lol. Can the speaker of the house just do that?

@MingCat This is such an inconsequential thing that I have genuinely no idea!

bought แน€1 NO

I would recommend clarifying your description: firstly because the title and description ask two different questions that have opposite YES/NO answers, and because nothing about the title indicates that flags must not be flying at half mast because of Trump personally, which is what the description is asking

Thanks!

Trump can't do anything about it until after he's inaugurated. For this market to resolve YES I think he'd have to somehow convince Biden to order them to be flown at full mast.

bought แน€10 YES

@MingCat don't you have this backwards? Trump being unable to change would guarantee a resolve YES. The flags would stay at half mast per the description

sold แน€53 NO

@gamedev Oh wow, that's embarassing. Yes, you're right of course, I got mixed up first thing in the morning lol

sold แน€85 YES

@MingCat hey for what it's worth I do that at least several times a week. Shoot first aim later lol
