He noted that while the market has been strong, with gains in seven of the eight months this year, caution is still warranted over the next eight weeks. Lee anticipates a potential dip in the market that could provide a favorable buying opportunity.
When asked about possible “Trump trades,” Lee acknowledged that such trades are indeed on the radar. He highlighted Bitcoin and energy as key areas of focus and suggested that market sentiment may be increasingly leaning towards a Trump victory in the upcoming election.

Lee echoed similar sentiments last week, observing that market behavior seems to be giving Trump a stronger chance of winning than what polls currently indicate.
He predicts that if the market grows more confident in Trump’s prospects, cyclical stocks, small caps, and Bitcoin might perform better due to clear policy differences.
