All Aboard the ET Trade Train

Extraordinary Profits From Ordinary Shares, Winning Stock Market Strategies

 

Let me be the first to call it. The next go to investment opportunity is going to be the Elon Trump Trade (“ETT”).

The landslide Trump win on Tuesday was all the more dramatic in that it certainly was not anticipated. Even on Monday, the very day before the election, all the experts and all the pollsters said the outcome of the election was too close to call. How could they all get it so wrong? For me this is a burning question.

In contrast the South African election results was predicted way in advance and very correctly as it turned out. Everyone knew the ANC would lose massive support and that the MK party would do dramatically well, so how could the “greatest nation on earth” get it so wrong. I am not a great one for conspiracy theories but a lot of people lied, the voters, the pollsters and the leftist press, perhaps trying to create a different and self-fulfilling narrative on what was later evidently a foregone conclusion. The Trump/Republican win was massive and gives the new party great momentum and the market loved it and raced to new all-time highs.

On the campaign trail Elon started giving away $1 Million a day to voters in swing states. The Philadelphia DA immediately objected saying that the payments are an illegal lottery. The Justice Department warned that the giveaway might violate federal law against paying citizens to register to vote. This tactic generated a priceless amount of free publicity for Elon and Trump. One can only admire the ingenuity another stroke of genius.

Investors, will now hang on every word Trump utters and it is clear that Elon Musk will be very influential. The Democrats were gunning for Elon and his empire but his position is now secure. Similarly, Trump will now be largely immune from prosecution and most if not all of his legal battles will fall away.

Shares of Tesla and Trumps media company rocketed higher on the news and the entire market hit new highs. Tesla shares are up 18% for the week. Not bad. And Trump’s personal stake in his social media company jumped by $300M on the day he was elected to become the 47th president of the United States.

Many second line US industrial shares hit new highs and AI darling, Nvidia, hit another high cementing its position as the world’s most valuable company.

Investors should be grateful certainly for the next few months. Trump and Elon have made investing easy.
