You Could Double Your Money (at Least) 10 Times Between Now and Just After the Election

As we've talked about before, the stock market can act as sort of a crystal ball for an impending U.S. presidential election. I've done it, lots of independent analysts have done it, and you can see for yourself, too; we look at the three months leading up to an election to try and see if the incumbent resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW will stay put, or be sent packing. This analysis has shown that the S&P 500 can correctly answer that question 86.4% of the time - not bad. Of course, these days, the markets are obviously undergoing a correction of some kind. After a dynamite August, the big indexes - the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and the Dow - are down 10.7%, 9%, and 7.7% respectively, from their Sept. 2 intraday highs. Normally, that might get an incumbent president in the mood to look for movers. But this bearish trend isn't necessarily decisive because, if we know anything to be true, this is a year and an election unlike any other. So the S&P 500's uncanny predictive powers might be a little weaker this year. I think, regardless of who the frontrunner or ultimate winner is, it's likely we'll see more downside between now and then. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who trades (and if you never have, you can certainly start now). That's because, for us, extraordinary times mean extraordinary profit potential.
