The Month of Trade Prior to a Presidential Election Since 1992
Due to some of the speculation around the slope about the effects of an election on the market, I decided to look at the last 20 years of elections. They’re a pretty mixed bag among the lot. Some were steadily uptrending the month prior, some were in choppy ranges, and some sold off for a couple weeks and rallied right back.
I sum it up to useless data. No edge there. Carry on as if wasn’t happening.

Unlike the first debate, I actually watched every minute of last night’s, although with some trepidation given the utterly tawdry turn this pathetic election has taken. It was, of course, awkward from moment one.
