Hey, Ross here! Historically, inflows into stock funds are quiet before a Presidential election and surge afterward. But this year’s been different—stock fund inflows have been strong well before Election Day. Does that mean inflows will slow down? Not likely. As I explain in today’s Insight, the odds point to even more momentum once election uncertainty clears. This is just another reason to stay in the game.

Hey, Ross here! The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) is back at one of its highest levels of the year, indicating increased market tension. With the market currently leaning toward a Trump victory, any boost in Kamala Harris’s odds could drive volatility even higher. And if Harris wins? Expect a sharp surge in the VIX. But, as I explain today, heightened volatility isn’t always a bad thing—especially if you know how to play it.

Hey, Ross here! In today’s chart, the green line shows bullish sentiment among individual investors, while the red line shows the same for institutional investors. Right now, institutional investors—the so-called “smart money”—are growing more bullish, even as individual investors turn bearish. The question is: who would you trust? In the Insight of the Day, I dive into what this sentiment shift means for us.

Hey, Ross here! Historically, the last six months should’ve been rough for the markets, but this bull market had other plans. Now, we’re heading into the year’s strongest six-month period. Does this guarantee an even bigger market rally? Of course not—there are no certainties in trading, only probabilities. And as I lay out today, the odds are looking pretty good.

Hey, Ross here! The Citigroup Economic Surprise Index tracks how actual economic results measure up against forecasts. Right now, it's at a six-month high, meaning economic data is coming in much stronger than expected. Most people are underestimating the economy’s strength—likely because of election-driven pessimism. But as I explain today, this overly negative sentiment actually presents a great opportunity.
