As Trump's Presidency starts, I thought it made sense to get an overview of alternative investment options.

That reminded me of something else I'd seen recently ... Check out this Periodic Table of Elements that shows what they're commonly used for.
Pretty interesting – It gives you some insight into what it takes to keep the world running.
If you ask nicely, perhaps they'll name an element after you?
As the country enters its decision zone, the S&P 500 Index is at one too.
Here is a chart that shows we are at a major support-resistance zone.

We just saw a long string of down days. U.S. stocks just posted their longest slide since 1980 (nine straight days).
Regardless of what happens here, I expect volatility.
What about you?
This summer, South Carolinians started seeing menacing clowns in the woods.
As a response to clown hysteria,Target pulled clown masks from shelves , McDonalds scaled down use of Ronald McDonald, and people everywhere have been in a fervor.
Not everyone has been affected negatively though ... Surprisingly (to me), Pornhub has seen a massive increase in clown related searches.

There you have it ... hard data.
2016 continues to surprise ... Celebrities dying, phones exploding, the election, and this.
It will be interesting to see how 2016 ends, and what the future brings.
The world changes, but human nature remains relatively constant.
Thought this was clever. It shows how different capabilities combine to form specialties.

The second diagram adds one element (and some descriptive 'color') to the combinations.

I think this helps explain a lot.
Recent polls suggest that Trump has less than a 15% chance to win. Makes you wonder how much the media influenced that ...

A little iconic wordplay. Let's call this "Trump Has A Potty-Mouth".

Hurricane Matthew hit the east coast this week. It was the strongest storm we've weathered in 12 years (with 125 mph winds).
As a trader, I've often thought that weather and market conditions share similarities. As a result, the techniques used to understand and predict them are similar.
Have you heard the term "Eye of the Storm"? Well, in the context of Hurricane Matthew, it went directly over a weather buoy (Station #42058).
The chart is interesting. Imagine being a person observing the storm. It builds, and builds until you don't think it can get much worse. Then, it appears to stop. You can breathe. You can see. You relax ... Then it comes back faster than before. Your nerves and reserves were already diminished. So, it is worse.

Similarly, it's easy to mistake the eye of the storm (in a major market move) for a sign of safety and opportunity.
I remember 2008. Storms like that caused many to buy wrong and sell wrong.
Humans see clear skies and walk outside. Perhaps we can teach the computer to know better (or at least to measure and recognize what is happening better).
At least in Pro Wrestling, there is usually a 'Hero' and 'Villain'
