Summary.
My estimated probability that Kamala Harris will announce a presidential campaign for the 2028 Democratic nomination before January 1, 2028, is 0.78, which is notably higher than the current market price of 0.605. This estimate is driven by her current position as Vice President, her demonstrated ambition through a previous presidential run, and the strong likelihood of an open Democratic primary field in 2028 where she would be a prominent contender. While the future is uncertain, the historical pattern for Vice Presidents in such a position suggests a strong propensity to run.

Will Kamala Harris run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028?
My estimated probability for Kamala Harris to announce a presidential campaign for the 2028 Democratic nomination is 0.88, which is notably higher than the market's current price of 0.81. This deviation is primarily driven by her position as the sitting Vice President, making her the natural successor and presumed front-runner if the incumbent president does not seek re-election. Her established national profile, experience, and likely party support make an announcement highly probable, even if the path to securing the nomination itself might present challenges. Therefore, the YES outcome appears underpriced.
Will Israel and Saudi Arabia normalize relations before Jan 20, 2029?
My estimated probability for Israel and Saudi Arabia normalizing relations before January 20, 2029, is 0.60, which is considerably lower than the market's price of 0.825. While long-term strategic interests and consistent US diplomatic pressure remain strong motivators, the ongoing Gaza conflict has made the Palestinian issue an immediate and high-stakes prerequisite for Saudi Arabia, a condition that will be extremely difficult to meet within the given timeframe, especially considering current Israeli political realities. The market appears to be underestimating the political challenges and the required concessions needed for such a sensitive agreement to materialize.
Will Bitcoin be above $200,000 by Jan 1, 2027?
My estimated probability is 1.5% compared to the market's 2.5%, suggesting the market is roughly 67% more optimistic than warranted by fundamentals. Bitcoin currently trades at $76,500-$78,000 and would need to surge 155-161% in just 105 days to reach $200,000 by January 1, 2027—an unprecedented move at current market capitalization levels. The Federal Reserve just raised rates on September 16, 2026 (first hike since 2023) in response to 3.4% inflation, creating severe liquidity headwinds for risk assets. No 3-month period since Bitcoin exceeded $100B market cap has seen gains above 200%. Major institutional analysts (Standard Chartered, Bernstein, VanEck) all forecast targets well below $200k for this timeframe, with even Bernstein's aggressive $150k December 2026 target priced at only 3% probability. While crypto markets can experience exogenous shocks (sovereign adoption, regulatory breakthroughs, financial crisis), the timing constraint is severe and the macro backdrop is clearly restrictive. The market appears modestly inefficient at 2.5%, though the absolute edge is small.
