Will Markets Crash if Harris Wins?

It would be bad for the market. So Harris wins, right? Well, it depends what happens between now and election. If she came out tomorrow morning, or even this afternoon, after the FED decision, and said, "Here's my 10-point plan," specifically around taxes, around these plans she's been talking about the housing, $225,000, I was just kidding about that. That's so inflationary, it's stunning.

I can't even imagine that ever being permitted in Congress. Even if she won more seats in the House, no one would ever do that. So these policies are crazy. I'm not that as an extremist. I mean, I do have gold. I do have a lot of cash sitting around because of uncertainty. But I have to invest the day after, even if she is elected.

And then I have to hope. I have to cross my fingers. You know, this is the new boss, and we won't get fooled again. That these policymakers that are giving me this, just be happy. Well, maybe I'll have to get happy, but right now I'm not happy.

And I really, really want some policy. I really do. And I think the rest of the market does too. And that comment gives you some idea about how much angst there is out there.
