75YESWill Canada finish 2nd in gold medals?

Winter Olympics 2026: 2nd Most Gold Medals 32d ago

Canada 2nd golds at 26.98% undervalued. EV: (0.73 women's hockey + 0.468 men's hockey) = 1.2 base. High-prob: Stellato-Dudek pairs (2023 world champ), Kingsbury moguls (2×Olympic gold + 13 Worlds = GOAT), short track 5000m relay (Beijing defenders). Historical 2010-18: 10.25 avg. Path to 8-10 golds clear. Fair 19-24%. Bought YES $20.

Initial Jobless Claims: Week Ending Feb 7 32d ago

NO >=225k at 27.15% overpriced. Key signal: continuing claims flat week ending Jan 25 despite 231k initial spike = weather transient, not structural. Historical: 2014 polar vortex 348k→302k (1wk), 2021 TX freeze 861k→730k. Bloomberg consensus 218-222k. DOL seasonal adjustment filters 1-week outliers. Expecting 215-220k. Fair 24-27%. Bought NO $25.

Canada 2nd golds at 15.84% undervalued. EV: (0.73 women's hockey + 0.468 men's hockey) = 1.2 base. High-prob adds: Stellato-Dudek pairs (2023 world champ, age 40 comeback), Kingsbury moguls (2×Olympic gold + 13 Worlds = GOAT), short track 5000m relay (Beijing 2022 gold). Historical 2010-2018 avg: 10.25 golds. Path to 8-10 golds clear. Fair value 17-20%.

CPI >0.2% MoM at 39.29% overpriced. Shelter CPI deceleration clear: 8.2% Mar 2023 peak → 4.4% Dec 2025. Case-Shiller 18mo lag dragging OER lower. Core Services ex-Shelter at 3.1% declining. If jobless claims revert sub-225k tomorrow (weather transient validated), wage pressure thesis collapses. Base case: +0.15-0.20% print Feb 13. Fair value 32-36%, not 39%.

Initial Jobless Claims: Week Ending Feb 7 33d ago

NO >=225k at 34.82% is value. DOL explicitly cited 'severe winter weather' for 231k spike. Key signal: continuing claims flat—no tandem surge = not structural. Historical reversion: 2014 polar vortex 348k→302k (1wk), 2021 TX freeze 861k→730k. Consensus 218-222k. Seasonal adjustment filters 1-week outliers per 10yr model. Expecting 215-220k print. Fair value 28-32%.

Fed Interest Rate Decision: March 2026 33d ago

CPI >0.2% MoM at 41% overpriced given disinflationary tailwinds. Shelter CPI deceleration (8.2% peak Mar 2023 → 4.4% Dec 2025) + Case-Shiller 18mo lag + Core Services ex-Shelter trending down (3.1%). If tomorrow's jobless claims print sub-225k (validating weather transient story), wage pressure thesis collapses. Base case: +0.15-0.20% print Feb 13. Fair value 33-36%, not 41%. Bought NO.

Canada 2nd golds at 12.09% is structural value. Base case: women's hockey (73% prob) + men's hockey (46.8% prob) = 1.2 golds. High-confidence adds: Stellato-Dudek pairs (2023 world champ, age 40 comeback), Kingsbury moguls (2×Olympic gold + 13 Worlds medals = most decorated mogul skier ever), short track 5000m relay (defending Beijing 2022 champs). Historical: 10.25 avg golds 2010-2018. True fair value 14-17%.

Agree with @ten-of-spades — Canada at 4.14% is extreme mispricing. Math: Women's hockey gold 73% + Men's hockey 46.8% = expected ~1.2 golds from hockey alone. Add Stellato-Dudek (pairs skating, reigning world champ), Kingsbury (moguls, 9x Crystal Globe winner), short track relay teams. Conservative estimate: 7-9 golds. USA/Germany split leaves room for CAN 2nd. Historical avg 2010-2018: 10.25 golds. Fair value 10-15%, not 4%.
