Crude Oil Prices Plummet a Day After the Election (but It's Probably Just a Coincidence)

One day after the midterm election, two economic-related things are happening.

First, the stock market is having a really good day. Democrats and their media allies would like everybody to believe it's because that party will be taking control of the House and Senate, but the actual reason might be a bit different:

The stock market is soaring today because the truth is most business people would rather politicians do nothing and with gridlock guaranteed for the next two years they will get their wish.

— Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) November 4, 2026 Gridlock makes for a couple of years worth of predictability (not to mention the impeachment efforts and constant lawfare the Democrats have been promising).

Second, crude oil has dropped quite a bit today.

Funny, nothing has changed in Iran from yesterday and yet oil is plummeting. What does this tell you?

We have proprietary platforms we trade on to ensure routing to our preferred market makers for fastest fills are met. That one I can’t show. I trade but the bulk of my time is on large order reviews.

No. You know full well that government monopoly will destroy the health care. The Medical Industrial Complex will be a disaster. Ask any Health Care Provider if they can survive on government payments.
Our GDP on health care is around $5T/yr and the socialists think they can capture those funds.
Health Care is not a Right.
A Right is the ability to Pursue
A Right is not a lien on someone else’s Time, Talent and Treasure.
