With the election fast approaching, investors need to be thinking about the best stocks to buy for each outcome.
And while former vice president Joe Biden is leading in the polls, many pundits believe President Trump has a good chance of pulling out another surprise victory as he did in 2016.
So investors need to be ready for a Trump win in November.
We've got a full analysis - and the best stocks to buy if Trump wins...

Hey, who wouldn't love to have a trading and investing crystal ball?
Something that could tell you the stock that's trading at $7.98 today will open higher or lower the next day, the next week, the next month.
I'm here to tell you that you can come pretty close to doing just that. It works for entire indexes, too. Anyone can see where the S&P 500 closed on any given Wednesday, but you can see how it's going to open the next day.
No need to keep a fortune-teller on the payroll, either. You can do it with free, public information.
I'm amazed more regular traders aren't looking at this. If they knew where to find this stuff and, more importantly, how to understand and use it to get in position to profit, I guarantee they'd use it.
Here's the "big secret"… Full Story
For the 56th time since 1896, the Dow Jones has spiced things up – Exxon Mobil, Pfizer, and Raytheon are out, and "new economy," biotech, and tech stocks Salesforce.com, Amgen, and Honeywell International are in.
But for sharp traders, the real story – and the real opportunity – is over on the high-flying NASDAQ Composite.
Sure, the endless string of new record highs is nice, but I'm talking about the stock splits approved by the boards of Apple and Tesla. AAPL and TSLA shares split 4-for-1 and 5-for-1, respectively.
That ignited monster rallies in both stocks and, in short order, long-term bulls will get a beautiful entry point.
The thing is, it's not right now.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average executed a minor overhaul today.
As of the opening bell, three stocks were removed from the index and three new stocks added in their place.
Dow Jones said it took the action because of the impact of the Apple stock split – it didn't want the tech sector to have less influence.
But how will this affect the DJIA and its component stocks going forward?.

We've had a pretty good idea for months now of who would be on the Democrats' and Republicans' 2020 presidential election tickets.
And now that the conventions are sewn up – or, in the case of the Republicans, soon will be – we can turn our attention to the "home stretch."
Now, I'm not here because I'm backing a candidate. While I certainly have my opinions, and you have yours, I'm not here to talk politics or handicap the election. That's a job best left to the talking heads – they're welcome to it, I say.
Rather, from where I'm sitting in the markets, the home stretch is the time when the opportunities and pitfalls of either outcome come into focus. That's what I'm excited about.
And yes, while both parties are predicting doom and destruction should the other side win, the truth is there will be plenty – tons – of moneymaking opportunities after the election.
They're going to be different opportunities, and will require different approaches and positioning, but – mark my words – they will be there. That's what I'm breaking down for you here today to make sure you'll be prepared to profit from either scenario… Full Story

I hope you've had a great summer – as much as possible with everything that's going on.
My family and I have managed to have a lot of fun, particularly in our new Winnebago Boldt-KL. In a pandemic, it's a nice, safe way to travel long distances, like we did on our summer road trip from Florida to New York.
In fact, I love it so much I find I'm doing a lot of everyday driving in it, just running errands.
Since I'm spending so much time in the Winnebago, I thought…
"Hey – might as well do some trading in here while I'm at it."
So, I hooked it up. I'm good to go; now I have everything I need to scan markets and trade stocks in here.
With gold and stocks going through the roof, and the dollar falling through the floor, I've had my hands full; I sent five plays to my readers yesterday and let my microcurrency folks take two 75% and 90% profits off the table.
As fun and productive (and profitable) as it's been driving and hanging out in the "Winnie," it's only around three weeks to Labor Day, and after that, less than four weeks to October and our first-ever virtual Black Diamond conference. (You can learn how to register to attend here; I'll be there for sure.)
There's a lot going on! And the closer we get to the end of summer, the opportunities get faster and bigger. The time to prepare is right now; if you wait until Labor Day week, it'll be too late.
With all that said, let's dive into my summer-end market forecast that looks at all four "corners" of this market and shows you how to play 'em. Here's what you need to know… Full Story
You have worked, scrimped, saved, and invested for a long time to retire.
Now you need to set your portfolio up to provide a steady, consistent stream of income.
In years past, you might have been talking to your banker about certificates of deposit or visiting with a local broker to discuss tax-free bonds, but in today's zero interest rate world, that's no longer an option.
You need income to fund your dreams, and your best option is the stock market.
Fortunately, high-yield dividend stocks are out there, even in this pandemic-ravaged economy.
Despite poor earnings performance, investors reacted positively to BP's recent announcement of a new green initiative, causing BP shares to rise nearly 8%.
But our Andrew Keene isn't seeing eye-to-eye with those rushing to purchase some shares of BP right now.
So here's what to buy instead if you want to profit...
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down nearly 800 points in early market trading this morning.
But stocks staged a mid-day comeback, climbing back to positive territory by the early afternoon.
The biggest news of the day came from the United States Federal Reserve.
The central bank announced it will begin purchasing individual corporate bonds, in addition to the ETFs it's already purchasing.
That fueled the Dow's rally even further as the index closed 157 points higher by the end of the trading session.
Here's what our experts – Chris Johnson and Tom Gentile – saw throughout the volatile trading session.
The Down fell another 630 points today after another oil plunge – but this time that focus was on the June 2020 contracts.
Yesterday, the May 2020 contracts fell as far as negative $40. Today, they were up to a positive $9.
But the June contracts fell 36% to $13 today as investors are beginning to realize that the "new normal" is likely lower oil prices for longer as Saudi Arabia and Russia aggressively try to drive U.S. producers out of business.
In addition to oil, earnings were in focus today.
