No Joke: You Can Now Legally Invest in Your Political Party
Life can sometimes be a lot like a Las Vegas casino -- money is bet on everything. Throughout the presidential campaigning of 2016, oddsmakers were taking bets on everything from who would become the next president to which political party would win the Senate. Of course, these bets were done in the secondary markets, where liquidity can be low, and your odds of success quite slim.
However, one financial firm is looking to do something that's never been done before in the stock market: meld politics with investments into a tradable, real-world asset. EventShares, the company in question, just brought three conceptually brand-new exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, to market.
