The moment of truth today
If GOP sweeps, I think this is probably the bottom on all risk assets (BTC and crypto included but I have less conviction about that)
In any case, I'm guessing (e.g., hoping) that this choppy market resolves once there is clarity on the election
My general sense is that the market has been internalizing the midterm elections (i.e., Democrats sweep), which has driven these pretty tough choppy conditions
Which, if true, means that it could be relatively challenging until or close to Nov. 3; but also means that the midterms will hopefully be buy-the-news, particularly if GOP does unexpectedly well
Nuclear weapons deployed to Nasdaqistan
BREAKING: Surface-to-air missile systems have reportedly been deployed near President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The deployment near Mar-a-Lago was reported by local media as early as Oct 23 as Secret Service-requested defensive measures against drones/low-flying aircraft amid routine airspace issues; it was not a new "breaking" event and no missiles were fired.
