So I am up 4% YTD. Culprit of low returns was my 10% allocation to REITs which I dumped in July. I could have only done worse in commodities.

I saw HIMS is going public via SPAC. CNBC paints a quite different picture of HIMS than what I hear on podcasts. Sounds mostly like a company that sells a Viagra alternative.

I thought the business was to sell hair pills which give you ED which supports the boner pill business. Creating their own demand!

Current plan is dumping bond funds a week before the election to be ready to pounce back into SPY. I'm thinking a "crash up" is quite possible if Biden wins solidly on November 3. If markets are still down 10-12% from the highs, and it's pretty clear Biden will eventually be declared the winner after Trump tries to litigate it in front of the SCOTUS.

What would point you the market is moving one direction or another? Futures during the last election night we crazy to say the least.
