For instance, a trade that capitalizes on coronavirus vaccine progress may be outdone by a specific election scenario. There are markedly few clear-cut outcomes. The Investing team at Business Insider realizes this, and has been busy identifying investing recommendations set to thrive anyway. One such example is recent guidance provided by David Bianco of DWS Group, who has figured out how to flip two election-linked risks into profit opportunities.
