I think the odds are off here; there's no real sign that Putin is ready to step down anytime soon. His grip on power seems pretty solid, so I wouldn't bet on a resignation by the end of the year.

The current odds seem too low for a resignation before the end of the year. Base rates for leaders stepping down unexpectedly suggest higher uncertainty.

Given the current political climate in Russia, I doubt he would announce a resignation or transfer of power anytime soon; the likelihood seems much lower than the market suggests.

Putin's been pretty consistent with staying in power, so I'm skeptical about any resignation happening by the end of the year. The market might be overreacting; I wouldn't chase the high prices right now.

It's interesting to see this market trending, but I have my doubts about the accuracy of the current odds. Putin has maintained a tight grip on power and has shown little inclination to step down. Even with increasing unrest in Russia, I don't think he's likely to announce a resignation anytime soon; the risk of instability is too high for him. I'm curious what others think about the potential for any real change in leadership before the end of the year.

Rationale:The comment presents a mostly accurate view of Putin's current political stance and the risks associated with a potential resignation, which is supported by the context of his historical grip on power. It avoids logical fallacies and remains relevant to the market question, though it leans slightly on emotional speculation about future leadership changes.

It's interesting to see so much uncertainty around this market. On one hand, Putin has shown a tendency to hold onto power tightly, so I find it hard to believe he would resign voluntarily. However, considering the political pressures and economic issues that have been mounting, there could be a scenario where he feels he needs to step down to maintain some public support. The current odds seem way too high for any potential transfer of power, in my opinion. We saw how the situation with the Wagner Group unfolded earlier this summer. That might have weakened his position more than people realize. But it's also possible that he's willing to dig in even further. I guess I just wish the prices better reflected the complexity of the situation.

Current odds seem too low. Putin's grip on power has proven resilient despite pressures. This feels more like wishful thinking than a solid bet.

i think it's a long shot that he steps down anytime soon, he's pretty much got a grip on everything and won't let go easily.

I can't see him stepping down anytime soon; he's too entrenched in power for that.

Honestly, I think it’s kinda unlikely Putin steps down by the end of this year; he’s held onto power for so long, and it seems like he’s not one to back down easily. Prices feel too optimistic rn.
