The TradeSmith Election Debrief By Michael Salvatore, Editor, TradeSmith Daily In retrospect, Donald Trump’s election on Tuesday should’ve come as no surprise. RealClearPolling had Trump’s odds at over 59%. Betting markets figured it was a lock for weeks. This all sets aside the fact that the Biden administration is historically unpopular. And unpopular administrations don’t tend to get reelected. Nonetheless, we here at TradeSmith have spent enough time in the financial markets to know that anything can happen, and often what happens is what you least expect. We prepared for both outcomes. And today, we’ll share what we prepared for a Trump victory. We asked three of our brilliant analysts to give their take on what a Trump win means for the markets: Jason Bodner, editor of TradeSmith Investment Report and Quantum Edge Pro… Along with John Jagerson and Wade Hansen, co-editors of our Predictive Alpha research service and software suite. Each of them draws different conclusions about what we could see next, drawing from varied experiences trading the markets both in the long- and short-term. They remark on tax policy impacting small business… trade policy weighing on retail firms… a huge boon for crypto investors… and what we could expect from the stock market if Republicans take both houses vs. a split Congress. Watch Jason’s post-election debrief here… And John and Wade’s right here. That’s not all we have for you, though. At The Freeport Society, Charles Sizemore’s publishers also asked him for a similar video, which they’re sharing with us as well. Tune in tomorrow for Charles’ take on the risks and opportunities of a second Trump term, as well as what his first term taught us to expect in terms of Trump’s policies and approach to the presidency. I, for one, can’t wait to bring you more of Charles’ clear, pragmatic, and independent insights in our next TradeSmith Daily. To your health and wealth, Michael Salvatore Editor, TradeSmith Daily |
