You can't compare the two. Trading is not about being right but about understanding what he market thinks is right at any given point in time.
Politics is or at least should all be about doing the right thing. Usually when educated, wise , mature people vote and express themselves politically they try to do the right thing. Problem here is that a much larger amount of people who are less educated, less informed, more gullible voted with their stomach and not with their brain. That is what shocked the educated and more intelligent people. There is a reason why many cities voted blue but rural areas voted red. And its certainly not because Little Rock, Arkansas or Rush Belt Central in Pennsylvania had to fear immigrants or terrorists but because the electorate has a different educational and information level. That it was so different is what shocked the rest of the people.
