The most recent election was a good night for Republicans, but possibly even better for investors.
That's not necessarily because Republican wins lead to better stock returns, but because historically the market performs better in the year following midterm elections.
In fact, there's a 66% chance that the market will post positive gains for 2014, according to research by StockTradersAlmanac.com.
Looking at stock market movements from every midterm election from 1970 to 2010, their research found that 66% of the time the stock market ended higher from election day to year's end.
If a 2.1% gain possibility over the next two months doesn't sound groundbreaking, then this might.

One lesson I learned a long time ago in my trading career was to never fight the trend. Trends tend to persist longer and go further than most expect.

It would appear as though most of the major indices have just been spinning their wheels and going nowhere fast in the past 4 to 5 weeks as they have all been in a broad trading range. This type of market action can lull investors to complacency, but for me it has always been a wake-up call to pay close attention to the market as something big is going to happen.
As I see it, the market is doing one of two things, it's either building a base to move higher or it's a distribution top – only time will tell which is the correct answer.
One of our members suggested that the Dow 30 could be making an inverse head and shoulders formation. Certainly this is possible, but I need to see a clear breakout to the upside to confirm this formation.

If you have read my posts for any length of time, you will see that I frequently refer to the saying, "the trend is your friend." However in this case, there appear to be two developing trends that will offer some amazing opportunities, but at the same time create some very dangerous times for the planet.
