Some are sharing their insights in client-exclusive analyst notes and strategy calls.Others are sounding off in a Twitter thread.Joseph Mauro, the head of markets at the hedge fund Light Sky Macro, <a href="https://twitter.com/jsmauro13/status/1320390599179194369">asked his 5,353 followers on Sunday</a> what their first postelection trade would be if Florida were called early and pointed to "the most overwhelming blue wave in the history of American politics."The hypothetical is far from unlikely. Recent polls have found former Vice President Joe Biden with a healthy lead and have suggested that Democrats could take control of the Senate. An early reading from Florida is also within the realm of possibility, as the swing state is among those where mail-in ballots can be counted ahead of Election Day.Here's how Mauro's followers, from Wall Street titans to finance-Twitter loyalists, said they planned to invest should Florida's results point to a Democratic sweep.Light Sky Macro managed $1.8 billion in assets as of December 31, <a href="https://files.adviserinfo.sec.gov/IAPD/Content/Common/crd_iapd_Brochure.aspx?BRCHR_VRSN_ID=626932">according to a regulatory filing</a>.Read more: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-picks-to-buy-7-restaurant-stocks-best-positioned-cold-2020-10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bank of America's restaurant analyst told us the 7 stocks that will thrive as frigid winter weather rocks the industry — and broke down the factors that could hurt certain popular destinations</a><h2>The professionals</h2>"Fade the consensus Blue Wave trades. i.e. buy bonds and buy dollars." — <a href="https://twitter.com/RaoulGMI">Raoul Pal</a>, the founder and CEO of Real Vision Group and Global Macro Investor"Long MXN." — <a href="https://twitter.com/M_PaulMcNamara/status/1320391074611908609?s=20">Paul McNamara</a>, the investment director at GAM Investments, referring to the Mexican peso"Sell Bonds." — <a href="https://twitter.com/novogratz/status/1320392796113498114?s=20">Mike Novogratz</a>, a former hedge-fund manager and CEO of Galaxy Investment Partners"Contrarian opinion- don't do anything- just stay calm.

A top exec at a $1.8 billion hedge fund asked his followers for their favorite election trades. Here are the best responses.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>In the viral <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/facetimeprank?lang=en">#facetimeprank</a> <keyword id="6762469" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="TikTok">TikTok</keyword> trend, also called the "New Teacher Challenge," parents are filming their children's reactions to "scary" photos of adults who may look different or unfamiliar. </li><li>Motivational speaker and influencer <keyword id="1306145" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Lizzie-Velasquez">Lizzie Velasquez</keyword>, who was mocked by one TikTok user taking part in the trend earlier this month, says these kinds of videos are harmful and may shape how children respond to the unfamiliar. </li><li>Velasquez made a TikTok video of her own in which she urged parents to avoid stoking children's fear by baiting them into being alarmed by photos of people who look "different."</li><li>After appearing in yet another prank video, Velasquez made another TikTok in which she presented a different approach for parents to take with their children — and one mother followed the advice.</li></ul>When Lizzie Velasquez discovered the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/facetimeprank?lang=en">#facetimeprank</a> trend on TikTok, she knew it was only a matter of time before her photo surfaced on the app.The 31-year-old motivational speaker, who has a rare genetic condition called neonatal progeroid syndrome, is unable to gain weight — and she frequently faces the vitriol of internet trolls mocking her appearance."Given my past, dealing with hurtful memes and bad videos, I knew what was coming," she told Insider.In one version of the trending TikTok prank, called the "New Teacher Challenge," parents instruct their children to participate in a FaceTime call with a new teacher for the upcoming (remote) school year — before turning the screen around to reveal a photo (oftentimes, a mugshot) of an adult who looks "different." Then, they share their children's terrified reactions with viewers, hoping for a laugh. As she anticipated, Velasquez was tagged in one of the prank videos earlier this month. In the clip, a mother filmed herself telling her son to meet his new teacher before revealing a photo taken from Velasquez's social media. Insider was not able to reach the uploader of the video for comment.In response, Velasquez made a TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@littlelizziev/video/6858883173623926021">video of her own</a> addressing the harmful impact of the trend."TikTok, I need your help," she said in the clip. "If you are an adult who has a young human in your life, please do not teach them that being scared of someone who doesn't look like them is okay. Please. Everything that these kids need to know about empathy and being kind to one another starts at home." In just one day, the video was viewed over 485,000 times, and commenters are voiced their support for Velasquez's message. "Yes! This trend never felt right to me," one commenter wrote. "I'm so sorry I did this with my daughter too. I deleted it right away," another said. "I feel bad and will spread the word."<h2>Velasquez, who frequently speaks about cyberbullying prevention, had hoped her video would be a teaching moment for parents</h2><div type="image" title="Lizzie Velasquez" height="1667" width="2223" msid="77473013" hostid="261"></div>The trend never sat right with her, she told Insider at the time, and she knew she had to come to the defense of other people featured in the prank videos, many of whom have disabilities or addiction issues."When I see these kinds of videos, I know exactly that feeling of being made fun of — and I sort of go into, like, protection mode, and I want to stand up for people," she said. While Velasquez believed that parents were simply "trying to be funny," their videos would have serious implications."Kids remember their parents' actions," she said. "I think we underestimate the number of small things that kids really absorb. It's harmful for them to see their parents baiting them into laughing or being scared by someone who doesn't look like them."Children, she said, will take the lessons they learn at home and apply them to the wider world."If they go out into the world and see another child — or even an adult — who is in a wheelchair or missing a limb, are they going to take the same reaction of being afraid or laughing?" she wondered.But parents, Velasquez said, could use her situation as an opportunity to address how children respond to the unfamiliar. "This is really a chance for parents to teach their kids that when you see someone who is different, it's not okay to laugh at them and it's not okay to be scared of them — but it is okay to be curious about them," she explained. "It's okay to recognize difference and to ask questions. I would much rather that someone look me in the eye and acknowledge me as a person."<h2>When Velasquez continued to see her photos appear in the prank, she decided to offer a more concrete suggestion to parents</h2>In a TikTok video posted on August 28, Velasquez shared another example in which a parent used her photo in the "New Teacher Challange" — this time, sharing what she believes is "the proper way to react" when teaching children about difference, empathy, and acceptance. Velasquez said that the prank video she shared actually had good intentions — in the full clip, the parent eventually tells her child that insulting his teacher's face would "hurt her feelings" — but added that laughing at a child's scared reaction to the unfamiliar can be confusing and obscure the lesson. "Instead, give them this scenario: 'how would you feel if you were in their shoes?'" she said. "You might underestimate what kids really take in at such a young age." Ultimately, Valesquez said that she hopes that parents will better match their reactions to the lesson they home to impart. Her video spurred several parents to begin conversations with their children about difference and kindness. Dr. Allison Rodgers, a fertility doctor with a strong TikTok following of her own, made a TikTok video in which she showed her son a photo of Velasquez — and the two discussed how ridiculing comments might be hurtful. Velasquez then shared the results to her TikTok. In the first TikTok, Rodgers' son Alex simply smiled and said that Velasquez looked "nice." In a follow-up clip, Alex said in the event of his friends mocking Valesquez he would tell them to stop and consider her feelings. "It's a conversation as simple as this, my friends," Velasquez captioned the video.

<div type="image" title="influencer dashboard banner" height="151" width="1200" msid="77532655" hostid="261"></div>Hi, this is Amanda Perelli and welcome back to Influencer Dashboard, our weekly rundown on the influencer and creator economy. <a href="http://newsletter.businessinsider.com/join/influencerdashboard">Sign up for the newsletter here.</a>Music is at the core of the <keyword id="6762469" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="TikTok">TikTok</keyword> experience and the app has transformed the music industry in recent months.To shed light on the power players in this rapidly changing area, my colleague Dan Whateley compiled a list of the 24 music marketers, artists, digital creators, record labels, and other industry insiders who are using TikTok to help define popular music in 2020.For large music conglomerates like Sony and independent labels alike, TikTok has become an essential marketing tool."Every music label, every record label, they have a budget now for TikTok because it's becoming so huge," Ariell Nicholas Yahid, a talent manager at the TikTok-focused talent-management upstart the Fuel Injector, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-money-tiktok-creators-get-paid-to-promote-songs-2020-7">told Business Insider</a>. In addition to helping artists and labels launch new tracks, song promotion has become an <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-money-tiktok-creators-get-paid-to-promote-songs-2020-7">important source of revenue</a> for TikTok's top creators who are looking for ways to make money on an app that still has limited monetization features.And for up-and-coming artists, TikTok can offer an effective way to build an audience quickly.

It offers a "virtual gifts" feature that allows creators to earn money while livestreaming by receiving digital "gifts" from fans that can be converted into cash. It built a creator marketplace platform to help marketers connect with its top stars for potential brand deals. And TikTok announced in July that it's setting aside $200 million (and up to $1 billion over three years) to pay influencers who are "seeking opportunities to foster a livelihood through their innovative content."But mainly, TikTok creators can earn big paychecks by doing brand deals, paid song integrations, app marketing, merchandising, and pushing product sales for storefronts on other websites.Dan, Sydney, and I broke down the seven main ways influencers on TikTok are earning in 2020.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-tiktok-influencers-creators-make-money-get-paid-ways-2020-8">Check out the main ways TikTok influencers make money, here.</a><h2>More creator industry coverage from Business Insider:</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much-money-youtube-pays-for-video-8-million-views-2020-8">How much money YouTube pays for a video with 8 million views</a> (by Amanda Perelli)</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/instagram-influencer-how-much-money-she-earns-from-sponsored-post-2019-10">10 YouTube creators break down their exact monthly incomes from the platform</a> (by Amanda Perelli)</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/instagram-influencer-how-much-money-she-earns-from-sponsored-post-2019-10">How much money an Instagram influencer with 176,000 followers makes</a> (by Amanda Perelli)</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/addison-rae-is-top-earning-tiktok-star-highest-income-forbes-2020-8">Addison Rae Easterling is the top-earning TikTok star</a> (by Sydney Bradley)</li></ul><h2><div type="image" title="Totally Meagan" height="705" width="940" msid="77526591" hostid="261"></div></h2><h2>Ask an influencer: "What are your top work from home tips?"</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/savvysexysocial">Amy Landino (384,000 YouTube subscribers)</a>: "The most important work-from-home tip is communication.
