DJIA, NYSE, S&P = CRASH!!!

Gained back a big chunk of Friday's drop when one Fed bank member suggested time might be here to raise rates again. Today another member said they should stay where they are. Clinton does not seem to have had an impact on the market.
 
Zippyjuan, you are so blindly, jingoistically against gold you cannot even manage to successfully READ MY POST. Nor to have any clue, apparently, of anything I think about the subject, despite having written thousands of words and exchanged dozens, perhaps hundreds of posts, with you specifically. Or with someone with the same user name.

I think that bike accident in Prague gave you brain damage. It's sad. Do your doctors agree?
 
I have never even been to Prague. Nor did I only mention gold and neither did you.

Historically, the market has done better when a Democrat is in the White House than when a Republican is. Chart looks at S&P 500 (Dow Jones is just 30 stocks which may or may not represent the rest of the market).

But also note,

There is no conclusive evidence suggesting the president’s party has any statistically significant impact on U.S. equity market returns (see Campbell and Li 2004). Intuitively this makes sense, because stock returns are influenced by a myriad of factors such as valuations, corporate profits, business cycles, monetary policy, etc. In addition, the increasingly global economy (the S&P 500 generates more than 50% of revenues outside the U.S.) makes the actions of a single government less important.

The stock market is a complex adaptive system in which cause and effect are not easy to link. Market movements, particularly over short periods such as a presidential term (yes, four years is a short-term investment period), are random.

As election season heats up, the average investor should think twice about making adjustments to his or her portfolio purely in response to election results. Instead, focus on the things you can control such as savings rate, investment costs and taxes.

And what, pray you tell, does this "market" to which you refer represent? When this "market" does well, who tends to benefit, mostly?

I would argue that these markets love only one thing. Cheap money. With Hillary cheap money is guaranteed. With Trump who knows?
 
Gold should break 1260 this morning , silver is at 18.06 . Nascrap is up 11 . One yr oil forecast is still at 55 a barrel , West Texas Light Crude @ 48 , Brent Crude @ 50.80 , Nat Gas 3.08 . Heating Oil 1.50, wholesale gasoline 1.60 , Copper @ 2.62 . Dow down 50 , S & P down 2 .
 
Every time I see this thread title, my confidence in the wisdom of my own recommended investment strategy is increased.
