But they've been placing bets on a lot of things that aren't.
Really typically normal not only are they making bets on the presidential election but now they are becoming increasingly confident especially in the last hour.
About the fate of the New York City Marathon Charlie Gasparino -- been working the -- on.
We should point out that Wall Street these traders often run in America on their firms are sponsors of the marathon what they're telling me.
Is that the New York City Marathon they believe is canceled OK now do we have confirmation from for mayor Bloomberg's office on this no we do not what enables us.
Put it altogether I mean there has been an uprising in this city over the last that a person I think they should have the New -- -- America I think it's good for business community.
I think it's I mean at some point we have to get back to some degree of normalcy.
But I'll -- -- it's -- it's -- hotly debated topic you go to any -- restaurant and people are talking about this.
And in the financial community allow these guys jog in the marathon they are hearing this thing.
He's done it is not gonna happen in the scheduled for first Sunday.
You often -- in America on you know what it's you know -- -- gonna go this year no but I -- on the New York City Marathon I can tell you -- are all five per -- and it it.
Causes massive gridlock Charlie and I just think it's hardest things are to get around right now it's well I don't like the idea it's probably logistically impossible and I will say this one thing about these Wall Street trading desk.
They're usually right when you -- come from this.
It's usually rights and I can't say for sure -- mayor's office has not has not commented but the Wall Street.
Trading community jogs in these in these in these men and all these guys jog in America.
There's firms are sponsored so they -- good Intel was and my first story here that.
At Fox Business was breaking that Tiger Woods is gonna make its -- now -- -- -- coffin barely know what out of what part means you know.
But added I get that I got that because he had sponsors on on Wall Street who pulls me.
So these guys are generally good.
And I think -- I think it's done.
The -- which it goes over the fares on -- from Staten Island can go over -- over a bunch of other bridges you go up first avenue the entire like the first avenue.
Then you move your way through Harlem then you go all the way down Fifth Avenue them through Central Park.
Already we've got to dangling Crane around 57 opposite causing massive Greg lawless and eight if you -- what it's like to be around in this city the last couple days.
I live in Stuyvesant town which is beyond twenty street between first avenue river I would pretty close -- East River -- the East River com.
Up twentieth street and cause damage -- cars were floating away.
I walked to work that night OK if that that morning she's five and wanted to be a FOX & Friends at seven.
I don't need that part parts of New York are now uninhabitable and I'll take it it's in the days since they haven't been much better do you anticipate and I and I'm not.
I'm not trying to disturb anything here but haven't worked in local news got anticipate the -- I -- -- -- civil unrest.
I believe that I'm Elizabeth Arnold says before throwing hot coffee in each -- -- -- -- thing passed last night I sent out.
But god and I -- the NYT email and I said if the if just be prepared for this story -- -- -- let's not because I've been hearing anecdotal evidence from people.
About civil unrest in the sense of people's tempers are very short can you imagine what's going to be like with these people tempers -- short.
And their job in buy them now -- -- powers coming up tomorrow.
I -- -- -- it may be working overtime to get power back so we can have the -- Sunday but even if they do that.
She's that's going to be that's a huge list so I just -- with the traders are saying the traders are usually good on that they have good Intel.
Inside government they work with government they work with business I tell you how I got -- by a target would sort.
I'm -- and these guys who usually right they're saying it's what are the chances that to save face and I'm just I'm just surprising -- it's a lot position of vice Mayor Bloomberg puts it on the marathon organization and lets the head of the marathon seven point or backing off -- I could never get unless I don't have this from the mayor's office I want to views and I don't have -- sense it's it's it's more than a sense.
They're saying what I'm hear from them.
Is that we hear it's -- and when -- when that gets around like that.
It's usually right that's all I can tell -- that wouldn't -- I don't have been finest American pop and said we're going forward screw it hello hardware.
I'm telling these Wall Street guys are usually right and they're saying this thing is done.
Out -- and like I said I supported the the ill person I thought it was a good thing it's gonna bring back some economic activity for the city.
But when we face and logistically.
Tonight and -- -- like I said I hear a lot of anecdotal evidence about people being.
Really tempers are real short.
I don't walk up.
Eight flights the other day in the big pitch darkness and you're in good shape and -- in good -- and could you imagine it could.
