Retired finance professional. I can't see the future and neither can you; anyone who says different has something to sell. NOTHING I SAY IS INVESTMENT ADVICE.
I know a lot of you are pinning your hopes on 2026 closing out like 2018 did (Trump's other midterm year).
VIX, 25 days before the election:
2026 - 14.90, hasn't been near 20 in months
2018 - 21.31, was just in the mid 20s days ago
