The US Presidential Election 2016

The most exciting date for Americans or should I say, most Americans is drawing to an end. Frankly, my opinions about politics and in this case both candidates are not exactly the ones I could or would vote for for the next American President. Without doubt, we can't deny how the Presidential nominee to the Presidential Candidate be be turned into a reality TV show. The nation isn't one that is to be governed in the manner.



Mr Trump I must say have not failed in amusing me through all the debates, opinions, facts and repetitiveness. Till now, I have not heard a single policy he wishes to bring to the country. On the other hand, the other party is given the Holy Grail even before anything else started. The self-destruction of the opponent is something that doesn't bode well to talk about what is to be done about the many issues the country faces.

I have obtained plenty of amusement and laughter from all these state of events.

If you have 5 minutes and really want to wind down a little, take a look at this 5 minute video from Barack Obama (Long-form Certificate from Hawaii): https://youtu.be/k8TwRmX6zs4

I love this man. A natural speaker and he does look sincere. If you still have 50 minutes to spare and enjoy American jokes, this is Obama's last speech at the white house correspondence dinner and still he gave Trump so much air time. It is such a good laugh. click here: https://youtu.be/NxFkEj7KPC0

Just 2 more funny gags from Jimmy Fallon. I absolutely love this:

With election results coming up and most likely on Wednesday morning Singapore time, I would be interested to find out who is American's choice. Do anyone think the election results might affect the markets in general? Historically, Presidential Election years have seen much more stability in the United States so I do doubt there will be much movement once the results are final.

Unfortunately, looking at how things can always be unpredictable. If Trump wins, we all have to take some money off the table for a while. You'll never know what a crazy guy can do. Personally, I like stability. I prefer some stance of stability than an opportunity where pervasiveness can occur. After the elections, I do view the US markets to stabilize in December and subsequently interest rates will start to increase and stock market correction.

End of the day, you got to put your money somewhere and staying in too much cash isn't going to get you anywhere. I would talk more about Blockchains and FinTech companies in the longer run. These are overseas companies that we are investing in and not for everyone but these are some of the trends that are picking up in the world today. Look at China, look at Europe and USA and you can see FinTech will be the game changer very soon.

Who will be your choice? Whether it freedom of choice or opinion I always think that we can't always stand on the sidelines. Vote and make a choice! Just like every other choices we make in life, it's never 50-50 in my opinion, there is always a skewed opinion no matter how small the percentage points are. So, I stopped kidding myself and always make a choice whether it's a better of both or worse of both.

“Sometimes you have to choose between a bunch of wrong choices and no right ones. You just have to choose which wrong choices feels the least wrong.”
