The stock market always makes money no matter what happens politically. The players are made up of huge investor groups and very few individual investors. They move the markets as they want with their investments and generally remove the monies from the small investor and place it into their own accounts. They have the advantages.
So, no it will not matter much to the markets - they will just alter their investment strategies to take into account who is doing what to whom in Washington. Of course we little people with small 401K’s will be at their mercy but that is the way it has always been...
Shorting the Market on a down turn can be profitable, just ask Soros.
Doesn’t mean the market won’t go down.
