Financial advisory firm Signum tells clients Senate will flip to Democrats as Biden surges past Trump
CNBC ^ | June 23, 2020 | Brian Schwartz

Financial advisory firm Signum Global Advisors is telling clients that it now believes the U.S. Senate is going to flip blue as presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden continues to surge past President Donald Trump in the polls.

In a note to Signum’s clients, Chairman Charles Myers and senior partner Lew Lukens said that while they were initially convinced Republicans would maintain control of the upper chamber, they have changed their minds and think Democrats are going to take it back.

“As Joe Biden’s lead over Trump in national and battleground polling has widened, several Senate races have become closer. We are changing our call and now predict the Democrats will take the Senate,” they wrote on Tuesday.

The firm has a massive policy and research arm, with its leaders all having experience that ranges from working on Wall Street to government posts in Washington.

Myers was the vice chairman at investment firm Evercore before he founded Signum. He’s currently a financial supporter of Biden’s campaign for president. Lukens was a U.S. ambassador under Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state and also worked on national security under President George W. Bush. They have offices in New York, Washington and London.

Did they also advise their clients to sell everything and move their dollars into a hard currency.

Let the Democrats run things to the ground to teach the people a lesson.

That happened in Venezuela. That was NOT, and IS NOT, a good option.

Biden won’t come out of his rabbit hole for anything, he is not campaigning in any significant way, Biden thinks people are going to vote for him and he isn’t working for it, don’t think so, you need to out hustle your opponent

My take is that if they allow the convention to nominate Biden, he won’t be there to give an acceptance speech - instead, it will be a carefully spliced video speech. lasting maybe 15 minutes and it will take two months to record, 20 seconds here, 30 seconds there, spliced together during his “clear” moments and then presented as a whole. He will not attend Milwaukee bc he “wants to set a mature example for the country during the covid” by staying indoors. If they are ahead and I’m sure the corrupt polls and media will parrot this, they will then punk out of the debates, so there will be no debates with Trump and the press will make up something about Trump being the one who has dementia and is dangerous to debate in person. They will have the full support of the mainstream media, Hollywood will kick in their staging talents, and they will have to fool over half the population.

I think this will backfire on Dems. Dem voters will not feel the urgency to vote “knowing” it’s a done deal and will stay home, watch TV and get stoned. Republican voters will crawl over broken glass in their desperation to save America and vote straight Republican.

I just hope this former Hillary bundler actually believes what he is saying.

Then he will want to keep Biden as the nominee.

Never interrupt the enemy while they are making major blunders.

Who in their right mind believes this stuff?

Trump's campaign believes this. They just dramatically increased their ad spending in Iowa, a state which he won by 10% in 2016, and where the polls show he is tied.

The polls reflect today's reality. If the election were held today, if the polls are accurate, Biden would rout Trump in a landslide, getting close to 400 EVs.

The Dems are relying on people thinking that if Trump is voted out of office, they will stop all the shenanigans

Oldest political strategy in the book, especially by the Democrats. I think Trump needs to expose that strategy. The Dems and the media purposefully and thoughtfully are causing CHAOS, investigations, the riots are perfect for them, the media fake angst, etc. You're right, it is an effective strategy if left unchecked. The weak kneed suburban voters just want peace and quiet and actually believe it will go away as they don't understand the strategy. The strategy needs to be exposed.

The polls are pure BS and most people know it. Trump is going to win in a landslide likely bigger than Reagan. He may get 17% of the black vote. The millenials will notgo out in the rain to vote for Jomentia. 😆

It is a full court press with the never Trumpers, the Rats, press and pollsters.

It’s going to be a bumpy ride. I do think Trump has a lot more of the GOP on his side during this election ride compared to The last.

I’m a pretty active investor, so I’ve heard a lot of names. Not this one... so I looked ‘em up. Pretty website. I think their main business is bullshit white papers and power point presentations.

The polls are pure BS

That is an FR fable and unfortunately, facts don't bear it out.

Except for 2002 (mid-terms) and 2016, polls have been on the mark for every single election - 2000, 2004, 2006 (predicted Republican rout, FR disagreed, woke up to reality), 2008 (predicted McCain rout, FR disagreed, woke up to reality), 2010 (predicted Republican takeover, FR cheered), 2012 (predicted Romney rout, FR disagreed), 2014 (predicted Republican win).

If asked to pick between FR sentiment and polls, I would strongly bet on the polls.

Regards.
