(Respectfully) why are we even discussing the US election? Should we be more concerned about David Crisafulli and the LNP’s victory in Qld? Should we be talking about Albanese and Dutton?

Abortion could be banned in Queensland by the end of the year after the conservative LNP won power last week.

no srsly i was kinda shocked when steven miles didn't win considering he's so popular amongst the youth

it really seems like theyre trying to appeal to the young men who were raised on the internet with videos about american politics, so now their political opinions are shaped on american politics then just being applied to australian politics. the amount of times i see people calling labor 'liberals' BY AUSTRALIANS is concerning, ill see someone talking about shit and complaining about liberals making stuff woke here, and its like wtf are you talking about?

Wall Street or ASX?

wall street, maybe asx but i think it may be just a 1 day thing. us efts listed on the asx would also fall for a week or so i think, not too happy about that since im pretty heavily ivv weighted...

You're telling me the party that supports this thing --> View attachment 45580 , puts lgbt flags in every classroom, and thinks men can get pregnant is intelligent? Just look at California (a democrat ran state), car theft and smash and grabs are so common place that nobody bothers calling the police there. You cannot leave your car parked in San Francisco because a certain group of people (the usual suspects) will break your car's windows and steal the stuff inside. This group of people can foster because of weak democrat policies and punishment against them, it's not a felony to steal below $1000, which means they can steal your laptop and not be punished by the law. Oh and I didn't even mention how the city streets of dem cities look like a third world country. The democrats aren't centre left, they are far left. One day they will make murder legal too. I don't know about you, but having a city with crime and homelessness rampant doesn't sound too intelligent.

No money sent to Isreal and Ukraine cause the wars will end

he was expected to lose by a ton more but made up a ton of ground because of that strong campaign

not how the stock market works, everything is priced in

if the stock market was likely to dip then the many many smart institutional investors would have already corrected for that and prices would’ve already reduced

Doubt this. Councils in Melbourne are setting up IDF training camps for young Australian soldiers, hard to believe this will all end soon.

us stocks usually have increased volatility surrounding election season

Port Philip council is disguising an IDF youth volunteering session as a Shabbat AND Syrian lunch on the 2nd of March, under SAR-EL (looking for Australasian volunteers for israel).

volatility != likely to go down though, the expected value would be a very tiny slight increase afterwards, although obviously that’s a mean of more extreme cases
