Comments on: Does Wall Street Prefer A Democrat Or Republican President? http://www.tradersnarrative.com/does-wall-street-prefer-a-democrat-or-republican-president-2047.html Freshly squeezed market commentary & analysis Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:31:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Babak http://www.tradersnarrative.com/does-wall-street-prefer-a-democrat-or-republican-president-2047.html#comment-35484 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 03:39:37 +0000 http://www.tradersnarrative.com/does-wall-street-prefer-a-democrat-or-republican-president-2047.html#comment-35484 Russ, not sure where you're getting those numbers? Gary, lol, a simpsons quote! Tyler, that thesis would only hold water if we flipped Dem/Republican every 4 years. That isn't the case. mythster, in a real free market system it is near impossible to isolate the "crap-shooters" from "real investors". How do you propose we do such a categorization? Russ, not sure where you’re getting those numbers?

What we're really talking about is government regulation of the speculators, hedge-funders, naked short-sellers and other day traders that caused the mess we're in now. Obviously they know that the government will have to put the brakes on before the country goes into chapter 11 and they hate it. The smail business rallying cry is just another bit of the free marketeers' party. Real small business owners (the ones who are not making more than 250K a year) will do fine under the new administration but the fat cats make take a little haircut before the end og Obama's first term - but not right away. Someday maybe, real investors will dominate the market and then things will get back to normal and everybody will have a fair shot at getting a decent but not obscene return on their money and the crap-shooters can go back to Vegas where they belong “Figures don’t lie but liars…”

In that case republicans are better for business. however, as the economy does bad it causes individuals to think on a more personal basis leading them to vote for the candidate who is most likely to help the individual and not the big or small businesses. leading the people to vote for a democrat who supports such programs. If your catching on to what I'm saying you'll see that the democrats are merely being elected in time frames that are in a market slump and are being rewarded with the inevitable market recovery to come. Also it doesn't matter who is in office the market doesn't give a damn.

(I voted for him.) I had heard that it was a myth that Republicans are better for the stock market than Democrats--and I was happy to hear it. But your data disappoints me. The median improvement in Democratic administrations is 7.6%. The median improvement in Republican administrations is 10.2%. Too bad. I’m glad Obama won. (I voted for him.)
