As a rules-based trader, I can’t afford to get political.
Politics is all about emotion. In fact, the same emotions that motivate voters tend to sink novice traders: fear and greed.
So I tend to stay away from politics.
But political events – like the coming election – can generate some incredible profit opportunities for traders who know where to look.
So last Thursday, like tens of millions of Americans, I watched the first of potentially two presidential debates last Thursday night between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
I’m not going to tell you who I think won or lost. I’m not going to tell you which candidate performed better. I’m not going to tell you who I’m voting for. And I’m certainly not going to tell you who to vote for.
But here’s what I’ll tell you: Biden and Trump present different opportunities to profit in the markets depending on who wins in November.
That’s why we pay attention to politics – without getting caught up in emotions that can impact our trading.
Right now, the race looks like a coinflip.
So as a trader, you have to set your political biases aside and prepare for both outcomes – that way, you can be profitable no matter who wins.
And that’s exactly what we’re going to do today.
I’ve recorded a special video for you breaking it all down.
First, I’ll show the markets reacted to last Thursday’s debate.
This is the top movers in the S&P 500 for Friday, June 28 – the day after the debate.
On the left, we have the S&P 500’s top gainers for the day. It’s mostly financials. Those are definitely what I’d call “Trump stocks.”
On the left, you have the top losers for the day – and once you get past some of the big names on the list like Meta Platforms (META) and Disney (DIS), you see stocks like NextEra Energy (NEE) and Enphase Energy (ENPH). Clean energy stocks. Those are definitely what I’d call “Biden stocks.”
So, in this admittedly small sample size, the so-called “Trump stocks” indicated that the markets think Trump won the debate.
But more importantly, we now have a targeted list of stocks we can profit from no matter who wins in November.
So in today’s video, I’ll show you:
-
My Top 10 Trump Stocks
-
My Top 7 Biden Stocks (and why there are only 7)
-
My top stock for each candidate
Now, there’s one more thing.
There’s a special stock in today’s video – the one stock in the market that made both my list of Biden stocks and my list of Trump stocks.
It’s part of a group of stocks that’s been dominating the markets over the last 18 months.
A group of stocks that’s about to enter what I call the Final Phase…
And if you’ve been buying and holding shares of AI stocks (like the one in today’s video), you’re already at risk of a catastrophic loss.
So next Tuesday, July 9 at 8 p.m. Eastern, I’m holding a special event to brief you on exactly how I’m trading the Final Phase.
And later this week, I’ll tell you exactly what I’m seeing – and why you need to join me.
