Here’s Who Wins the November Election

Jeff Clark, Senior Analyst, GoldSilver.com

OCT 23, 2020

Cantankerous, divisive, even violent—choose your adjective, but the upcoming US election is on a level we haven’t seen in a long time. Even on my own street there are strong feelings on both sides, and a third side that is simply trying to stay out of the line of fire.

Who wins? Well, believe it or not, I already know the answer to that…

Three Basic Outcomes

There are a lot of ways this election could go, but let’s look at the three most likely outcomes, and the impact each might have on citizens and the markets.

No Decision, Outcome Unknown

Nobody is declared the winner on November 3, and it becomes clear it might take a while.

This scenario leaves everyone—citizens, investors, even other countries—in limbo.

Impact: Uncertainty for citizens, markets, and global leaders.

Trump Wins, Results Contested

Some politicians and pundits on the left have already promised that if Trump wins they will contest any close result. Maybe even if it’s not that close. And Trump himself has said he’ll do the same thing if Biden wins and the count is narrow.

Whenever the final tally is known, the likely reaction is that it gets contested. Only a landslide victory by one side or the other would diminish the odds of it being challenged.

Impact: Uncertainty. Possible social unrest.

Biden Wins + Democrat Sweep in House and Senate

Some polls indicate the Democrats are likely to get a “clean sweep,” meaning they win the House, Senate, and presidency.

According to Goldman Sachs, if this were to occur the Democrats would likely pass at least three major pieces of legislation, all of which would include huge amounts of fiscal stimulus:

> Covid-19 relief. They estimate this second stimulus bill would be about $2.5 trillion. They also note it would likely be done quickly.

> Infrastructure bill. The components are not clear, but the Biden campaign has already outlined a $2 trillion package of infrastructure and climate-related spending.

> “Reconciliation” bill. The amounts are unknown, but the current proposal increases benefits/spending on the Affordable Care Act, child care, and education. Many analysts believe higher tax rates would be part of this bill.

Here’s what that fiscal spending package would look like, compared to what has already been implemented.

Stimulus Now vs. Potential

That graph is to scale; the amount of spending in this scenario would be at least 225% more than what has already been implemented this year. And it excludes the reconciliation bill.

Whatever is carried out in this scenario, it would all be done via currency printing, and automatically lead to even larger deficits.

Impact: Big and multiple stimulus programs, with knock-on effects of inflation fears and US dollar devaluation.

And the Winner Is…

There is one clear winner each of the three scenarios above. I’m sure you’ve figured it out…

Gold.

Gold wins if there is uncertainty. Gold wins if there is social unrest. Gold wins if the results are contested and drag out. Gold wins if massive fiscal stimulus is enacted.

Could there be a negative outcome for gold? Sure… the price rises in anticipation of turmoil and the turmoil is less than expected. Or maybe if Biden wins but Democrats don’t sweep the house. Or maybe if Trump wins decisively and further fiscal stimulus is contested or below market expectations.

But even not knowing the outcome, I will sleep just fine: I own a very meaningful amount of physical gold. Mike says he sleeps better, too, owning gold.

In the big picture, gold is about more than the election of course. In fact, history shows that political events like elections tend to have a transient effect on gold price.

As Credit Suisse pointed out in a recent analyst report, “What matters more, structurally, is US real rates, inflation, and the US dollar—all of which are currently supportive of higher gold prices.”

The Fed itself has done everything to demonstrate its desire for higher inflation. You’ll recall that Chair Jerome Powell unveiled a policy in August that will not just tolerate higher inflation but seek a rate above its 2% target. Sooner or later they’re likely to get it.

In other words, the fundamental reasons to be overweight gold at this time in history are much more critical than the US election:

Unlimited monetary stimulus
Further fiscal stimulus
Record fiscal deficits
Runaway national debt levels
Negative real rates for several years
Dollar debasement and loss of purchasing power
Higher inflation
Currency wars
Geopolitical conflicts
Lack of Fed options
Ongoing uncertainty surrounding Covid-19

All of these are still in play (and you can probably think of more), and all are fundamentally positive for gold.

In my opinion, gold’s time is here. Not just for “election protection” but for big and critical reasons that seem destined to make it the next financial bubble. In other words, not just purchasing power protection but huge profit potential. Corrections notwithstanding, this upcoming election cycle, the next four years, could see a gold (and silver) run like history has never seen.

If you’re looking for a financial “sleep solution,” as well as the asset most poised to rise in the environment ahead, buy physical gold and physical silver.

That’s how Mike and I and many others plan to be “winners” not just during the election but for the foreseeable future.

Silver wins more than gold. Silver is a high beta. Statistical term. Just means that the price of silver goes up faster than anything else when the Reset comes.

In the last 10 years, the S&P 500 is up 193%.

Silver is up 2.4%.

For the Oct 2010 silver price I was estimating $24.00/oz from the chart. The actual price of silver was a little lower, so the actual % increase is slightly higher than my estimate:

Closing price on October 25, 2010: $23.71/oz

Closing price on October 23, 2020: $24.58/oz

Increase = 100% x ($24.58/$23.71 - 1) = +3.7%

That's still a lot less than the S&P 500's +193% !

So the chart didn't translate -- I see 2010 is when that phenomenal hike happened. Then it spent 6 years falling down lower than its 1/10 position. The graff is overall lifting from its longterm low of $5- 7.50, amirite?

I know -- no way to know for sure ;)

You missed my original point which is that silver is a high beta meaning when it goes up that it goes up faster than gold or just about anything else.

You want to get in on the bull market run and then get out. It will more than hold your value.

The S&P 500 is hollow. Most of the gains are from a few stocks and then from helicopter money delivered expressly to Wall Street and the Big Banks. When helicopter money hits everyone after the elections, the Dollar Dies as does the NYSE which is denominated in dollars and silver spikes onwards and upwards.

Did that happen in the great (but temporary) surge of about 2010 -- did it outperform gold?

Next question if I may.... Whats the current G/S ratio?

Lots of historical charts online. Just search "gold silver ratio history".

The ratio has been trending up for the last 10 years:
sdbullion.com/gold- silver-ratio

The ratio fluctuates pretty wildly, but has averaged about 65 over the last 30 years. Here's the last 100 years:
