Hello Reader,

There is no way we’re going to know who’s president on election night.

Regardless of what you think about mail-in ballots, they have one pretty obvious logistical problem: They take a long time to count.

And you’ve seen what’s happening with the USPS in the news. There’s a lot of “drama” there.

It’ll take weeks (months?) to count all those mailed in ballots. You can bet no one is going to concede defeat on election night. The probability of lawsuits is high. The probability of civil unrest is higher.

What does all this mean?

Political risk has returned.

I’m already talking to my Daily Dirtnap readers about strategies going forward. Insecurity and fear are causing many to rush toward gold, bitcoin, and real estate.

As you know, I feel strongly about a coming period of inflation, and November’s impact is being factored into the portfolio.

You’ll notice, I just disclosed one more of my eight strategies for profiting from the new inflationary regime—real estate.

If you want to find how I plan to implement this strategy, click here to take advantage of your risk-free, 30-Day Daily Dirtnap Test Drive.

Let’s do one more Q&A, real quick:

Q: You mentioned some politically sensitive stuff just now… Where do you stand and how does that affect your investing?

A: I am as aggressively neutral as they come. Everyone has biases, but I do better than most at disregarding them. At the very least, I take them into account. That’s a skill that’s extremely tricky to learn.

Liberals and Conservatives have equally shaken their fists in the air at me, and I’m fine with that. You can’t separate politics from the markets.

It all goes back to human behavior, market sentiment, and doing your utmost to remove emotionality/personal bias from your trading—which I mentioned to you yesterday.

Political risk—which is once again a factor—is something we have to take into account when strategizing.

Alright. Done with that.

Let’s Talk Dirtnap

There are only two more emails in this inflation series, and I want to know where you stand. If you’ve made it this far into the series, it’s probably because you’re interested in what I have to offer.

So firstly, thanks. And secondly, try me and The Daily Dirtnap out.

I’m sure you’ve clicked this link at least once this week. So you know I’m offering you a pretty attractive discount plus that handy 30-Day Trial.

I’ll leave you with two comments from Dirtnap readers whom I highly respect:

“I’m an investing and financial research junkie. I read about 20 research services a month. Jared Dillian is hands-down one of the best thinkers and writers on the planet. Getting access to Jared’s thinking and recommendations for the price he charges is a ridiculously great deal.”
~ B.H., Dirtnap Reader & CEO of a Financial Publishing Service

“If you can’t make money with this thing, then you’re holding it upside down.”
~ T.G., Dirtnap Reader

There will be a lot to keep on top of over the next few months. And you can bet I’m keeping my eye on it all. Anything that could affect my, and your, investing strategy will be laid bare every morning in The Daily Dirtnap.

As an investor, you know there is an “ideal” time to enter the trade in order to maximize your profits. That time is now. I would urge you to act as quickly as you can.

Episode 5 of “The Death of Money” is out tomorrow.

P.S. Here are a couple of outtakes for you. 1—I can see a lot of people diving into Alan Greenspan’s classic essay “Gold and Economic Freedom” from 1966. 2—Fun fact, in the first six months of this year, Americans bought 12,141,032 guns. To put that in perspective... gun sales for the entirety of 2019 were 13,199,172. Sentiment runs the market.
