Investors, what about the US presidential election? It's slowly approaching. Can it move the market in any way, or does the president have absolutely no effect on the markets there? I have not been in the markets long enough to have experienced several presidential terms.
I have read some rumors that the market tends to rise more after the Republican candidate is elected, but is that even true? Opinions?
I can't even tell and judge whether it is or not. However, I am very interested in the presidential election and will be watching :)
It might not have had a complete impact, but the data shows that the markets behaved rather positively after the election of the new president. If it were two completely different candidates, I would be watching.
I think we could talk about maybe less regulation, lower taxes for corporations if Trump is elected... In general, maybe a pro-business policy, but it's hard to say yet.
Does Trump have a company that's publicly traded? I guess that's where things could be moving... :)
