    No, they threw in more money on the bet that everyone else would do the same. Nothing to do with liking either candidate.

      I don’t understand. How would people investing more cause my value to drop? I’m admittedly very ignorant on the topic, so don’t take this question the wrong way.

        My guess: The pre-election drop was probably the usual investor jitters before a major event. The rebound was from people betting that other people would throw in money after a Trump win. Does that make sense?
