Whenever there is a big "binary" event, preparation is vital. This happens in two different ways: 1. Advance positioning. These are specific trades to be done before the event occurs -- deciding on asset allocation, sector allocation, and possibly protection against unlikely (but possible) outcomes. 2.Tactical preparation. The analysis must be done in advance, but the trades will occur after an initial outcome is announced.
