If someone suspects a big market drop in October, there is still time to buy a few Puts via Margin Calls.
All it takes is a rumor to get stockholders nervous.
“Soros and Bill Gates are selling all their shares of “X”!!”
The so called drop may be a self fulfilling prophecy.
What do you suggest for someone who plans/hopes to retire in about 18 months? Move to more conservative now? Hang in through the election. The values were mostly back as of 6/30/20 to the 12/31/19 values. But nervous about what might happen related to the election. Asking for a friend, of course.
