Trading the Election
The Compound and Friends
Investor Sentiment and Election Betting Dynamics
This chapter explores the divergence between investor confidence in the stock market and general public sentiments regarding the economy and elections. It highlights how personal financial successes can obscure broader economic issues and examines the relationship between polling data and prediction markets.
On episode 164 of The Compound and Friends, Michael Batnick and Downtown Josh Brown are joined by Jack Raines to discuss: earnings season, betting on the election, The Washington Post's subscriber exodus, red hot Reddit, Michael Saylor can't get enough Bitcoin, once a New Yorker always a New Yorker, and much more!

Public Disclosure: A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more.
