Maybe Trump just confirms the New Bear Market

Something occurred to me today, when the Donald Trump indicated a Goldman Yalie for Treasury Secretary, that maybe his election won't actually crash the markets right away.

Maybe they will actually try to make it work for a bit.  It will be very bearish in the short-term, and work into a larger decline with the rate hike coming in the December FOMC.  But there are all sorts of support levels on the chart now, so we might as well use them.  

Tomorrow morning, expecting that we will bounce off the 200DMA SPX and rally into Election Day this Tuesday.  A Trump win confirms the bear and starts chopping us lower to a bottom around 1980 SPX the week of Thanksgiving.  

SPX 1Y
The larger drama plays out through 2017 and into 2018.  Not having World War III is actually comparatively quite bullish.  Final low at the long-term trendline from 1987 (year).

Seasonality wise this is better. We can't have too steep a sell off in December statistically. Better to have in November from an odds perspective.

They're going to slather as much lipstick on this pig as they can.

Look for gas prices to drop like a rock, only to scream higher after the election.

think we set up for a major rally starting next week after hrc take the election. she will intro a mega infrastructure spending bill that will liff the economy to new heights. if you think stocks are high now, wait a year and see how much higher they'll be. sorry but the "crash of 16'" like the previous 7 will get pushed back to "next year" : ) LOL
