Market getting comfortable with a Trump presidency
CNBC ^ | Giovanny Moreano |

Posted on 05/31/2016 9:45:40 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Wall Street seems to be growing more comfortable with the possibility of Donald Trump winning the presidential election, according to a recent poll by Strategas Research Partners.

A survey conducted by the firm among more than 650 institutional clients, shows that 50 percent of the respondents believe the billionaire businessman will secure the presidency, compared with only 22 percent back in April. Even as Trump's prospects improved in the eyes of investors, the stock market has climbed almost 2 percent in May and hovers near an all-time high.

"The most jarring change is that it appears that the possibility of Donald Trump winning the presidency is well priced into the markets today," wrote Jason Trennert, chief investment strategist at the firm in a note Tuesday.

Just his name at this point should have a positive market value. But when he starts to tangle with foreign markets and governments (Communist markets = governments) the stock will be in turmoil.

IMO, that’s ok. We will have to take a hit in order to stop being bullied and pushed around. We just need to make sure we see it through. We can be on top again.

WOW!
This is the biggest news so far.
If Hillary is beginning to loose WallStreet, she is finished.

I disagree that a Trump victory is already priced into the market.

Trump will be very good for the economy and the market has not priced those future earnings increases and growth as of yet.

If the “market” is remotely smart, which it is, it will see that most the scary stories about Trump are just propaganda and the liberal media echo chamber. Trump is scary because, well, everyone keeps saying that Trump is scary — there’s nothing more to it. Then the talking head dunces repeat it and otherwise smart Wall Street types don’t do enough reading to make their own judgments. But eventually they will see that Trump has a more market-friendly platform than Hillary.

IMHO they have considered the alternative.

A corrupt Hillary could certainly be bought, and bent to their whims. However, she is likely a one-termer. IF her health even holds out that long.

After that (particularly after she makes SCOTUS picks) the country would be left in the hands of a Democrat Party that is radicalized, and is rapidly becoming the party of Bernie Sanders.

I sense that Wall St. is getting ready for a native son to be the 45th President.

Confidence is everything in the market. Watch for CNBC and FBN, aided by Yellen’s Fed, to sow the seeds of fear and uncertainty in the stock, bond, and currency markets.

They will attribute it to one and one reason only - the fact that a President Trump is in the cards.

Real companies will make a lot of money under Trump. Parasites will lose their sweetheart deals, so the Goldman Sachs’, Buffetts, free labor types may actually not be as well off, but the vast majority of public and private companies will be.

Already every day is a good day now that Trump is practically the de facto President.

I watch the Closing Bell and Fast Money almost everyday and have never seen any evidence of their politicizing their reports. And as far as FBC, I don’t think Cavuto would go along with it.

Why wouldn’t she be? Considering his relationship with Deutschebank?

WHHOOOH HOOOOH!

A little help from Wall Street globalists delays the likely inevitable collapse of the USA.

Maybe under TRUMP, we can work again, build manufacturing again, learn trades again, rather than die as only consumer animals.

Pavlov’s dogs and all.

No, not yet.

But I predict that after Trump is elected, the scorched Earth policy will commence, and they’ll be singing a different tune. They all (big media, GOP, etc.)wanted to torpedo Trump from day one as I’m sure you know.

Maybe Neil will jump on board or maybe he won’t. He’s wealthy enough not to answer to anybody he doesn’t want to.

In the interest of full disclosure, I stopped watching both CNBC and FOX Business a long time ago.

CNBC for the way they treated Santelli and their subtle kissing of obama’s ring, and FBC for the way they treated Stuart Varney and also kissing obama’s ring in their own way.

If I do watch anything, it’s Bloomberg.

But smart money wins, and it’s betting on Trump, IMO.
