He tied fluctuations in the stock market to predictwise betting markets predictions for who will win the presidency. He projected the Dow will lose 12% if Trump is elected based on how its reacted to his chances of winning since August.

Stock market is dropping and fears are high. If Trump wins I guarantee the market will plunge, at least in the short term. Yet Trump probably benefits slightly from some undecideds who see their stocks and net worth declining day after day, and blame it on stagnant economy.

As a gambler I've set aside cash and am focusing on isolated stocks, assuming a Hillary win. Ready to pull the trigger but ideal timing is still an issue.
