A note from Charles: In November 2023, our Freeport Society friend Louis Navellier hosted the “Californication of America” event. That presentation has been viewed more than 3.2 million times. Back then, he predicted that Joe Biden wouldn’t be the Democratic presidential nominee. Instead, it would be a Democrat from the Golden State who would lead the “Californication” of the rest of the country. That proved prophetic…
Now, Louis has a new prediction… about how chaos is going to grip the nation – and the stock market – in the days and weeks following the presidential election.
That’s why he’s hosting “The Day After Summit” on Tuesday, October 30, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Reserve your spot for that presentation by going here. Then read on for more from Louis on his prediction… why you can’t let the chaos scare you… and how you can profit from it.
“The enemy within”…
That’s how Donald Trump describes his political opponents in the Democratic Party.
“A huge risk for America”…
That’s Kamala Harris’ warning of a second Trump term.
Each side doesn’t just see the other as the wrong choice for the country.
They see each other as an existential risk to being an American.
If you think this year’s election will be settled on November 5, I have a bridge to sell you.
No.
One thing is certain: This will be a hotly contested election – after the votes are cast.
And therein lies our opportunity. So today, let’s dig into how you can turn this chaos to your advantage.
The Bigger the Moves, the Bigger the Profits
You see, the effects of a contested election won’t just be felt in Washington D.C, but also on Wall Street.
The market’s “fear gauge,” the VIX, could double or even triple as the stock market whipsaws in the days and weeks following the election.
That may sound scary.
But for professional investors like me, these are the times when you stand to make some of the biggest gains of your career.
Simply put, the bigger the moves we see in stocks, the bigger the opportunities there will be to profit… regardless of what’s driving the volatility.
I’m already making moves to prepare myself with millions of dollars of my own money.
And if you prepare for the volatility that’s coming as well, you’ll not only avoid the losses the market reaction will trigger…
But you’ll also have the rare chance to triple your money or more in a matter of weeks.
I’ll show you how in just a moment.
First, though, let’s look at what happened to the stock market the last time there was a prolonged legal battle following a closely contested election…
35 Days of Uncertainty
Of the more than 100 million ballots cast, the 2000 presidential election was decided by 537 votes in Florida.
If you’re above a certain age, you’ll remember what happened.
Back then, many voters used punch-card ballots. And in some cases, the punched-out pieces of paper, called chads, didn’t fully detach, leaving “hanging chads.”
These incomplete punches made it unclear whether the voter had chosen a candidate or not, which led to disputes over how to count those ballots.
Long story short, the results were contested. Recounts were ordered, debated, challenged, halted, restarted, and challenged again.
The election was settled only 35 days later when the Supreme Court declared George W. Bush the winner.
This wasn’t only upsetting for millions of Americans. It also seriously upset investors.
In the week of the election the S&P 500 was down 4.3%.
The average weekly drawdown for the S&P 500 is about 0.5%. So, we’re talking about a move 10 times steeper than the typical weekly loss.
Then, in the week of the Supreme Court’s decision, the S&P 500 dropped another 4.9%
And that election wasn’t nearly as heated as the contest between Trump and Harris.
So, I expect the market chaos in November 2024 will make the chaos of November 2000 look mild by comparison.
And while you may think it’s a matter of preparing for a repeat of the contested election results of 2000… or even 2020…
… I predict it’s going to be unlike anything we’ve seen before.
That’s because of a second event that impacts markets – right as investors are trying to cope with a contested election.
This Will Send Volatility Even Higher
That morning after Election Day, the Federal Open Market Committee will meet in Washington to decide on interest rates.
Most folks didn’t pay much attention. But months ago, the Fed made an unusual shift in its meeting schedule.
It pushed the start of next month’s two-day interest rate policy meeting from November 5 to November 6.
Why?
Maybe they didn’t want to seem political…
Or maybe they wanted the option to be able to react after the election results start rolling in…
Either way, come November 7, at 2 p.m. Eastern Time, the Fed will announce to the world whether it’s going to continue to cut rates… and by how much.
Right now, markets are expecting a quarter-point cut.
But it could be another half-point cut like the one it announced in September.
Or it could not touch rates at all.
Either way, that’s three more market-moving variables that will be uncertain come the day after the election.
In normal times, Fed decisions are big market drivers…
But on the day after the most contentious presidential election in modern history… with the entire country on edge?
Think how much more volatility it will add to the stock market.
But as I mentioned up top, this is NOT a reason to panic. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Systems Are Critical During Chaos
I’m what’s known on Wall Street as a “quant.”
I don’t follow hunches about what stocks to buy… or what the market will do next.
Instead, I build computer models that identify stocks with high growth rates and momentum.
And I’ve done pretty well by taking my emotions out of the investing process and trusting in my models instead…
I’ve been using my proprietary quant system to help identify growth stocks and market trends for well over 40 years. And during that time, I spotted early investments in companies that dominated their industries – like Microsoft (MSFT) at $0.38, Apple (AAPL) at $0.37, and Nvidia (NVDA) at less than a quarter – all before they experienced explosive growth.
Of course, that’s “ancient history.” Just in the past year, I’ve closed out trades in:
- Rambus (RMBS) for 133% gains in 17 months.
- Super Micro Computer (SMCI) for a 593% gain in a one third sale.
- Gatos Silver (GATO) for 45.6% gains in one month.
- And e.l.f. Beauty (ELF) for 68.5% gains in 16 months.
And while investors panic following the election as stock market volatility kicks up, I’ll be using these models to spot profit opportunities amid the chaos.
From four decades of professional experience, I can tell you that systems are critical – especially in volatile markets like I see coming.
And right now, I’m particularly excited about one model in particular…
It took hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop And up to recently, it’s been directly accessible only to large institutional investors and money managers for high-net-worth clients.
But I’m bringing it to everyday investors like you before Election Day… to target the biggest profit opportunities that most investors can’t see ahead of time.
I won’t go into too many details here. I’ll be revealing all during my “Day After Summit,” on Tuesday, October 30, at 7 p.m. Eastern Time.
I’ll be showing folks how to navigate turn the volatility I see coming into profits by using this same system. I’ll even be giving away a post-election trade for free. It’s designed to pay off no matter who wins the election.
So, make sure to sign up for that at this link.
And if you don’t have time to join me next week, don’t worry.
As long as you don’t panic sell out of your long-term holdings as the market whipsaws, you’ll do just fine.
Eventually…
