The markets do not want Trump

If you care about your 401(k) or your brokerage account, this is relevant. Movements on two markets during the last debate indicate what investors think about the next president.

Quote

A prediction market security traded on Betfair.com that is worth $1 if Clinton wins the Presidency rose from 63 to 69 cents between 9 and 11 PM Eastern Time (i.e., during the debate and first 20 minutes of post-debate analysis). While the main U.S. financial markets were closed, overnight trading in S&P 500 futures reveal that this event also led financial market traders to sharply revise their assessment of the value of stocks. The December 2016 S&P 500 future rose in lockstep with Ms. Clinton’s election chances, suggesting that markets expect stocks to be more valuable under President Clinton than President Trump.

There was little movement in the S&P futures right before and after the debate, so it is reasonable to suspect that the debate caused the movements.

It is no surprise that not a single Fortune 100 CEO supports Trump. (Eleven support Clinton and about a third of them supported Romney in 2012.) They know he would be bad for businesses across the spectrum, which means he would be bad for the rank-and-file worker.

I am liquidating my brokerage accounts in case Trump wins. I don't think he will, but I'm not willing to bet millions that he won't.

I can always jump back in later.

Of course they support HRC. Higher interest rates pop their equity bubble. There is a lot of profit in pushing over-priced equities.

The markets are now (and have been since 2008) in the control and manipulation by the Fed and the central banks. That is the reason the markets have been "going up" with no real economic fundamentals to support the rise. They travel in a channel near the all time highs so that the Wall street guys have enough room to take advantage of the highs and lows to still be able to make their money. The markets will "go up" like this under Clinton because she is not going to do anything that will let her personal financial empires take a huge hit. She will get the money extracted by tax increases from the ones still left in the country's middle class instead. That is, until we hit the coming giga- recession resulting from the failure by the Fed to stand aside, let the markets reset back to freedom and find their real value again.

With Trump, there will be a temporary period of high volatility as changes get made. Look at it this way--a crash is the best time to be backing up the truck and buying at a discount. Make use of the gifts given to you as they happen.

I have a nice size portfolio right now too and think Trump's election might really affect it. His unstable and unpredictable performance during the campaign, the markets will react based on his words. That's not why I'm voting against him, but it's something to worry about. We can't have a guy who says crazy stuff (yes, crazy) influencing the market.

I care more about my country and its future than my 401(k). If the Wall Street Banksters make the markets move south every time Trump looks like he might win then you know he's doing something right for the American people.

You can support Wall Street or you can support the American people but you cannot support both.

Hillary-ous post! Big shock that Goldman wants Clinton, eh? The really amazing thing to me is that Bush haters love her. Guess the guy that delighted in the "unaware" is doubling down now! Now be compliant voters, OK?!?

Yeah, kind of hard to wrap one's head around how much the Occupy crowd loves her but they hated Goldman, et. al. even though she's their bitch and will serve them. Testament to how good the MSM has gone to bat for her against Trump I guess.

I doubt you have much if anything saved in your 401k. If you do you're probably too much of a pussy to have it in something as volatile as the stock market. Gold is more your speed.

And clearly you don't know how the stock market works

More than half of Americans own stocks, and many rely on it for retirement.

Well, smart guy,

Since a 401K is, for most people, a very substantial way of taking care of their kids future, as well as making sure they are not a drag on society and the country in their later years, being concerned about thier 401K is in fact an expression of caring for the country.

For most people.

If you think your portfolio is gaining because of Trump, I'd immediately get someone else to manage it.

A big 401k won't prevent your daughter from being raped by refugees.
