Everyone is Lying About the Election

My social media feed is exploding with election drama.

It sucks.

Hot takes, gotcha’ moments, conspiracy theories – all of it posing as “news.”

Remember: most of it is garbage.

Everyone’s yelling, but no one’s saying anything new.

Legacy news outlets? Same problem. Bias, bias, and more bias.

The real issue is people confuse opinions with actual news.

But here's where it gets exciting: while everyone's arguing about polls and personalities, they're missing the real story.

The story that actually affects your wallet.

I've been fascinated with elections since I was 12 years old. I interviewed Senator Bill Bradley for my local paper back then.

And since then my fascination has only grown.

Not the drama, but the patterns. Especially the way markets respond. Especially the opportunities that emerge when everyone else is distracted.

Here's what I learned after decades on Wall Street and as a venture capitalist: the biggest opportunities come when everyone's looking the wrong way.

While the masses debate poll numbers on X, smart money is quietly positioning itself for what's next.

Remember 2016? While social media melted down, certain market sectors exploded.

Not gradually. Almost overnight.

We're talking wealth-changing moves that nobody saw coming. Except they did come. And they'll come again.

The key is to understand that elections don't just change governments – they shift market psychology.

When that happens, money moves. Fast.

What matters here is understanding where the money will flow next.

I've spent months analyzing the data. Not the polls – forget those.

I'm talking about real data. Money flows. Institutional positions. The quiet moves big players make while everyone else screams at each other on cable news.

And what I've found might surprise you.

Actually, it will definitely surprise you. Because while everyone's focused on red versus blue, there's a $100 trillion shift brewing that nobody's talking about.

But before I tell you my prediction, let me be clear: this isn't about politics.

I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. That's your business.

I'm here to show you where the money's going next. Because in my experience, that's the only prediction that really matters to your bottom line.

Want to know what I found? And my big election prediction?

Stay tuned.
