If I bought individual stocks, I might pick up some Ralph Lauren cause that seems to be Clinton's designer of choice...

Overall, the apparent outcome of the election is mostly baked into the market already.

Wall Street hates instability as it is bad for business. Trump is anything but a calming influence as he is mercurial. The markets will react negatively if he is elected but will eventually go back to normal. On the other hand Wall Street like Clinton, or at least the press says she in bed with Wall Street. In either case the long term effect is probably the same but the short term will be very different.

There will be a reaction followed by normal conditions... the reaction could last a week though. I think markets will temporarily plummet if Trump wins and rally if Clinton wins.

I'll probably buy put or call options on SPY once the results are out based on who wins.

This is non-sense. Financial media mumbo jumbo. Money is made when markets moves. How is Mr B going to find business @ discount if markets dont move?


Look at vloume when markets move. Cha Ching-GS love it. Ma n Pa may not like it- Mabel where did all our money go? hahahahaha.

The market has already assumed that Crooked Hillary will win.

Exactly right, I personally hate Hillary Clinton, but Wall Street wants her to be president because she is the stable / predictable candidate. The last thing Wall Street wants is to get into a trade war with China and Mexico. A lot of American companies rising profits have come from their business in Mexico and especially China.
