If everybody is expecting an armageddon, it won't happen. Economic uncertainty is a reality since years. The problem is largely independent from the outcome of the election, because the debt problem simply can't be solved in an ordinary way.
So it makes no sense to only prepare for a crash on election day as a singular event. People should already be prepared in general and own the right assets.
I don't own much in general and I don't own any stocks in particular. So there won't be a problem if the S&P crashes. I only hold a bit of Bitcoin and a few precious metal coins. Bitcoin and precious metals are the only assets that I consider both safe and fungible during the times ahead.
ya.ya.yo!
You know, it is interesting thinking of what would be the short term outcome of the election if Trump were to win instead of HRC. Trump has said before in the past (doesn't mean he won't flip flop once he gets in, of course) that he wants to audit and revamp the federal reserve. If that's the case, the federal reserve might just go full out YOLO, and let the economy tank to make Trump look like he is doing terribly as president. There's no doubt you know what you don't know what you are getting with Trump, and on the flip side, you know exactly what you are getting with HRC, same old shit.
Cryptocurrencies, gold, and silver are always a good bet. Lots of investors may hedge their value in Bitcoin because it has been the most reliable to hold it's value (looking at a short term view of the markets). But make no mistake, Bitcoin isn't nearly as "fungible" as gold or silver, with Bitcoin, there is a certain level of 'taint' that comes along with it. That's the risk someone investing in Bitcoin has to worry about before wanting to withdraw fiat out of Bitcoin through online exchanges.
