    FYI – job creation is statistically better on a Democratic Administration than a Republican one, also the maket typically gains 2% more in the first year of a Dem administration than a GOP one.

    Frankly, having a Dem in the WH is the best thing possible for the economy – remember Clinton? 22,000,000 jobs created in 8 years, significant gains in per capita income and a budget surplus. 8 years of Bush 4,000,000 jobs created, no increase in per capita income and the most severe budget deficit in our nation’s history.

    I don’t mean to ignore a good joke, but that’s just the the InBev acquisition. InBev is tanking on Euronext though:

    well I wouldn’t say the a Dem in the WH is the best thing possible for the economy. and I wouldn’t say a Republican is either. it comes down to the individual IMHO and so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. my bets are against the next administration making fundamental improvements such as a sound money system and reduced spending but who knows? maybe I’ll be surprised. perhaps if he reduces our military footprint abroad he can offset his other expenses.

    Mark,

    You use dumbed down logic based completely on correlation rather then rationale for causation. Im hoping you are more intelligent then that, therefore you shouldn’t be spewing simplistic bs that only hurts our political discourse.

    Using your same logic, Im going to say that it is was the republican congress in the 1990′s that was in power during the great stock market and job growth and likewise it was the democrat congress since 2006 that has presided over the recent housing, stock crash and job losses. Ha, I win! See how stupid this is?

    If you are indeed going to look at Clinton with the stock market, lets look at what actually happened during that administration to see why that could be. We got NAFTA, where free trade helps stock market returns. We got a cut in the capital gains tax which instantly increases the return on investment and therefore demand for stocks rises, and we got decreasing federal spending as a percent of GDP. So lets see what this democrat (obama) ran on. Trade protectionism, massive increases in federal spending, and higher capital gains taxes. That doesn’t sound like a repeat of the 90s to me.

    The correct answer to the question, “Where are you going to invest” is:

    Gold, Firearms, and land in Wyoming.

    Solar panels, Wind Turbines and Solar & Tidal Generators

    If you want to make some long term investments, that’s the way to go.
