The first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is scheduled for Sept. 26. The secret to success in investing and trading is to prepare for various scenarios in advance, in this case, the debate. Let us start by looking at key S&P 500 — represented by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY, levels. Later we will discuss a number of trades.
First, a note of caution
Irrespective of who wins the first debate, it is important to remember there are two more debates ahead. There is also the possibility of an October surprise.

For the foregoing reasons, the trades mentioned are high-risk, short-term trades suitable only for aggressive, experienced investors. To be absolutely clear, these are not long-term investment themes.
