Just before the election: Why the Market Will Soar on Monday

If you're betting that Hillary Clinton will win as expected, put some capital into inverse VIX products (XIV and SVXY).  During the first week November, the VIX soared to over 20 to close at 22.51.  If Clinton wins, the VIX will probably come crashing down.

XIV closed at 33.28 on Friday, 11/4, but it's likely that with inevitable VIX decay (and a Clinton win) that it will go above $40 before the next significant VIX spike that pummels the price of XIV.

However, if you're betting against the grain that Donald Trump will win, you could short some of the indexes by purchasing SQQQ, SDOW, .  To protect yourself against significant loses, you may want to put some funds into the inverse of the shorts and also inverse VIX instruments.

Buy SVXY when the market is down.

With the market's big slide during the first week of January, SVXY has been pummeled. 

It's a good swing trade investment when the market dips temporarily.  Buying this stock when it takes a hit of at least 5%, but preferably 10-20% can yield a nice gain in days or weeks!

Today SVXY ranged between 36.98 and 41.38. 

Buying at $38 and selling at $41 would be a 7.8% gain.
