You can follow your instincts, which will probably get you in trouble. Or you can follow the money, which, nine times out of ten, will get you closer to the truth. I love that quote. In my experience, people say all sorts of things. Sometimes they mean it. Sometimes they don’t. But they almost always put their money where their true beliefs lie. Thats why I "follow the money" on Wall Street. It’s also why Charles Sizemore, Chief Investment Strategist over at The Freeport Society. Right now, the money is bracing for what could be the most hotly contested election in modern history. Regardless of who wins – Donald Trump or Kamala Harris – the aftermath is poised to unleash unprecedented market volatility. Both candidates are unlikely to concede quietly, setting the stage for extensive legal battles and political turmoil. That’s why Charles and Freeport Society friend Louis Navellier presented an urgent Day-After Summit on Tuesday, to help investors prepare. To learn about the quantitative system they’re using to navigate the expected post-election chaos, I urge you to watch the replay here. But here’s the thing… This Presidential Election is not just a battle between Trump and Harris. It’s also a high-stakes showdown between two tech world titans: Elon Musk and Sam Altman. They’ve become proxies in this election, and depending on who wins, it could have wide-reaching effects for your portfolio... So today, let’s consider what our world could look like under presidential puppeteer Musk or Altman. Freedom vs. Oversight Musk, much like Trump, is a disruptor who challenges the status quo, pushing boundaries in industries like electric vehicles and space exploration. Altman, akin to Harris, advocates for innovation with ethical considerations, steering the rapid advancement of AI with a steady hand. A Trump victory would amplify Musk's bold ambitions, potentially reducing regulatory hurdles and fostering an environment ripe for his ventures. A Harris win would bolster Altman's vision of responsible AI development, aligning with policies that emphasize oversight and societal benefit. For investors, this means one thing: volatility – and plenty of it. Volatile markets and times of crisis are great for traders because they create huge moves that play out over the short term. A shift that might unfold over 12 months in a calm market can happen in 12 days during turbulent times. That's why it's crucial to position yourself now. At the Day-After Summit, Charles and Louis showed viewers how to navigate these uncertain times and turn market chaos into profits. Because if you don't, you risk getting caught in the market's whipsaw. Again, you can watch the replay here. To understand the true danger that lies ahead, you need to understand what will follow the election victor… What a Harris Victory Means for Sam Altman An administration under Harris is likely to prioritize substantial investments in AI infrastructure. Altman's OpenAI is already paving the way for this future. The company is exploring partnerships to construct a new generation of AI-specific data centers – massive facilities several times larger than any existing today. These centers would process unprecedented amounts of data, requiring significant advancements in computing power and energy resources. Building these data centers could create tens of thousands of jobs, stimulate GDP growth, and lead to the modernization of the power grid with renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and nuclear. States across the country stand to benefit: Texas could see over 48,000 jobs and a $20 billion boost to its economy. West Virginia might gain 32,000 jobs and $16 billion in economic growth. Wisconsin could experience 38,000 new jobs and an additional $16 billion to its GDP. These investments could catalyze a reindustrialization of the U.S., fostering AI hubs in collaboration with public universities and tailoring advancements to key industries like agriculture and energy. To achieve this, Altman advocates for bold, strategic actions: Creating "AI Economic Zones:" Accelerate permitting processes for infrastructure projects, making it easier to build renewable energy facilities and reactivate dormant nuclear reactors. Enhancing Federal Support: Increase federal spending on power and data transmission, establishing a "National AI Infrastructure Highway" to connect regional grids and bolster national security. State-Level Initiatives: Encourage states to provide subsidies or assistance for infrastructure projects, ensuring a portion of computing power benefits public institutions and local industries. A Harris win could be instrumental in realizing these initiatives, aligning policy with Altman's vision of ushering in "The Intelligence Age," where AI drives unprecedented scientific and economic advancements. What a Trump Victory Means for Elon Musk Trump has hinted at Musk playing a crucial role in his administration. At a recent event, Trump announced plans to appoint Musk to lead a government efficiency commission tasked with auditing federal agencies and recommending sweeping reforms. Musk could wind up with significant influence over regulatory bodies that oversee industries critical to his ventures, such as automotive, aerospace, and energy. The man has expressed a keen interest in reshaping regulations, particularly those affecting self-driving cars – a move that would greatly benefit Tesla. By potentially reducing regulatory hurdles, Musk could accelerate innovation and deployment of autonomous vehicles, solidifying his companies' market positions. However, this close partnership raises questions about conflicts of interest and the balance of power between private enterprise and government oversight. Critics argue that such an arrangement could challenge the effectiveness of regulatory agencies and the safeguards they provide. For investors, the divergent paths presented by a Harris or Trump victory are a study in contrasts… and opportunities. A Harris win could lead to massive investments in AI infrastructure, benefiting companies focused on responsible AI development, renewable energy, and data management. The emphasis on ethical innovation and widespread economic growth aligns with sectors poised for long-term stability and expansion. Conversely, a Trump win might favor deregulation and aggressive advancement in industries where Musk's companies are leaders. Reduced oversight could expedite developments in autonomous vehicles, space exploration, and advanced manufacturing, potentially yielding rapid returns but also introducing higher volatility and regulatory risks. In short, this election's outcome will not only shape policy but also determine which vision of the future takes precedence – a future of measured, inclusive growth or one of bold, unrestrained innovation. As investors, understanding these dynamics is crucial. The market is primed for significant movements, and those who can anticipate and adapt to these shifts stand to gain the most. Uncertainty and volatility, while often perceived as risks, are also catalysts for opportunity… The Final Word While most pundits are laser-focused on Election Day, they're missing the bigger picture. The real story unfolds the day after – November 6 – when the uncertainty, political strife, and market volatility truly begin. As investors, this is not the time to sit on the sidelines. Louis and Charles both anticipate the market's "fear gauge," the VIX, to double or even triple as the stock market whipsaws. That's why they’re making available the replay of their urgent Day-After Summit. Together, they unveil strategies to not just weather the coming storm but to turn market chaos to your advantage. As Louis shared during the summit: "We believe you’ll not only have the rare chance to triple your money or more in a matter of weeks… but also avoid the massive losses that will be triggered by the market reaction we see coming." This isn't hyperbole. It's a reflection of the unprecedented times we're in. If you follow their recommendations, you stand to make significant gains. If you fail to act, you risk watching your portfolio get caught in the market's crossfire. The solution lies in their proprietary system, which tracks massive money flows into stocks from deep-pocketed Wall Street investors (remember what I said at the beginning of this missive). The bigger the money flowing into a stock, the more confidence we have that it's poised to move higher. It's an effective system that, in back-tests going back to 1990, has outperformed the S&P 500 by a staggering 6-to-1. But time is of the essence. If you don't sign up, you risk being unprepared as the markets whipsaw—especially if you're new to investing. Don't let this opportunity pass you by... Click here to watch the replay of "The Day After Summit." Because in the end, it's not about simply following the action or your instincts... It's about following the money… And the smart money is betting on the days after the election. Sincerely, |
