Absent of any economic crisis, US markets seem to perform reasonably well in the 12 months after the elections. It will be interesting to see if there is any meaningful derating of multiples over this period given that this would be the highest starting PE on the S&P 500 at around 27x over the last 5 elections.

BankNifty 48500 straddle today doubled from it's 9:30 am prices. As discussed in earlier post. Bank Nifty's Atm IV & Historical IV saw a good jump today in morning and it was a good sign for buying straddle, since it creates long vega trade and it proved profitable. While Nifty's Vols remained quite today, but be ready for Nifty in coming days now. #goodtrade #tradeoptions

It’s the best thing I could’ve done to get experience as an executive.

Historical or Realized Volatility is cooling down before elections. But counterpraties are peculiar in derivatives, hence high demand & supply there is elevating "Implied volatility" in comparison to "Realised volatility" mostly when market opens. Is anyone here understanding this? Let me know in comments if you know this psychology and if you don't know how to #trade this opportunity. You can DM me. By the way events like elections are always good opportunity for positive expected returns. #elections #trades #optionwriting #volatilitypremium

Well that was seismic! General elections usually provide quite dull results. From a voting perspective labour didn't really do that well! They only grew from 32.2% of the public vote to 33.9%, but went from 200 to 410 seats! It was the huge shift away from conservatives, where almost half their voters left them and voted for other parties (not labour) The result, they lost about 60% of their seats SNP lost 80% of their seats after a 30% drop in their vote. Lib Dems had hardly any change in their vote, yet went from 8 to 72 seats. Reform? They had more votes than the Lib Dems, yet only secured 4 seats.
