Since bottoming on March 23, 2020, the S&P 500 has risen 57.5% – setting an all-time high in the process.

This is all because while the world seemed to stop turning for a lot of us, we were still finding ways to spend money.

Since the pandemic hit the U.S. back in early March, things have changed drastically. People are finding new ways to spend their money. According to a report from CNBC, grocery store spending was up 54% in February and March, while restaurant spending dipped 44% in March and April.

People are spending more time at home, which means they are spending more money on their home.

I’m not a betting man, but I’d put money on the fact that you’ve probably purchased some things to make your “stay and work from home” situation a little easier to swallow.

That purchase could have been a new pair of sweatpants to make WFH on the couch a little cozier, or some games to keep the kiddos entertained. Maybe you got ambitious and finished that spare bedroom you’ve been meaning to get to. I bet one or two of you even hopped on the bread-making train and put in an Amazon order for some baking trays and mixing bowls.

I know I am at the point that I have my credit card numbers memorized – a point I certainly never thought I’d get to!

That same report said that 64% of Americans have changed their spending habits since February, and I think we can all say that we’ve contributed to that.

And while spending habits changed, one sector shot to the moon – turning into the hottest sector of 2020.

This hot sector is filled with profit potential – here’s how to play it…

It has been statistically shown that the stock market can act as a crystal ball when there is an impending presidential election.

Analysts look at the three months leading up to the election to see if the president in office will stay, or if he will be sent packing –

In fact, before the 2016 election, the S&P 500 had an 86.4% success rate using this three-month strategy to forecast the election.

Today, we’re looking at a market correction six weeks before the election. Stocks were up following August’s stellar performance until Monday, when we saw the Dow lose over 500 points in a single day of trading, marking four straight days of losses.

But this month’s bearish movement isn’t necessarily the deciding factor for who our next president will be. Because if we know anything to be true, it’s that this year has been unlike any other…

The global pandemic created a snowball effect. World economies are still reeling from the coronavirus-inspired reductions in consumer spending. Retail, travel, and hospitality are taking it on the chin. Not to mention, the demand for oil has dropped along with oil prices.

It’s not surprising that the market has corrected. At the end of the day, the S&P’s predictive power may not be so strong in 2020. But regardless of who wins November’s election, it’s likely we’ll see more downside in the market before then.

That’s why I have found the top 10 bearish trades to play right now – and profit on before the presidential election, regardless of who sits in the White House next year.
