Stocks have gotten hit hard this week. Have investors perhaps caught a whiff of a possible Biden victory and the damage he and his socialist running mate would inflict on American businesses and the middle class? That’s one explanation, and I raised the possibility here numerous times over the last several weeks that it could occur, even if it was highly unlikely. In any event, the stock market is a lot smarter than the pollsters, and therefore probably better at predicting Tuesday’s winner. However, Wall Street is also a sleazy carnival midway on a giant scale, and so it can be assumed that regardless of which way shares are moving on a given day, there is a reason for it that suits the needs of the market’s Masters.

This would position them for the huge rally that is all but certain to follow a Trump victory. Manipulating the markets in this way is especially easy with the news media promoting the lie that Covid-19 has gone out of control.
