As a hardcore Cruz supporter, I still wish he was our nominee, but he's not. I have said for over a year that regardless of who the nominee is, the Republicans will win the election come November. Now I agree that anything can change over the long hot Summer, but for now it looks like Trump will not just win, but he will will probably win in a landslide we have not seen since Renaldo Maximus won in 1980 & 84.
As usual, when a market economy candidate replaces a socialist Big Government commie in the White House, the economy improves drastically. That being said, even Reagan did not face what Trump is facing will he moves into 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Many things destroyed by Obama will take years to repair, if they ever are completely.
However, the economy will improve greatly I believe. So my question to the panel of Freepers in the know, "What stocks will take off, and which ones will tank"?
We all know that there are many company's that have been targeted by Obama that have struggled, if not shutdown. Along with the big corporations that have taken financial hits, there are millions of smaller companies that have been destroyed which has in effect created huge opportunities for anyone willing invest once the economy starts to improve.
Like the early "80"s when Reagan improved things, so too do I see a recovery. It may not be as great, but it will be a recovery just the same. Or, it could be as great if not greater, but it all depends upon how Trump attacks the biggest drag on any possible recovery, the healthcare industry taken over by Obama.
So, what stocks will take off under a Trump administration, and which will take a hit? By the way, I watch the money shows on cable news, and often read what Zero Hedge for financial information, but I want to know haw my fellow Freepers see things.
Last time I asked this question was in late 2008 when Obama won, and while the advice was mixed, I did do very well on gold.
Lockheed-Martin
I say coal stocks. Peabody Energy (BTU) in particular.
Never say never. I thought my Dog could beat Obama in 2012.
I hope Trump Wins in November, but I’m not betting the Farm on it. My faith in the Electorate has been seriously eroded.
Carry On.
Any national company connected with “trash removal.”
I think you may be right.
He will quickly move to privatize the Veterans Administration so if you have any idea what companies might profit from that move it should be a good bet.
CCA (Corrections Corporation of America).
Not sure if it’s publicly traded.
If there are any coal companies that arent bankrupt by next year(there may no be any left now), id invest ina coal company
If you want to know who will win, take a close look at any rallies going on. Look at the turnout and that will give you a certain answer. Of the 3, Trump gets the largest turnout so that says folks have had enough of the Dems.
OK. What specific actions has Trump promised, which will improve the profitability of coal mining companies?
You should probably short Old El Paso.
Coal will recover once Obama is gone, but it will never be what it was... too much infrastructures been destroyed.
Aggressive growth mutual fund(s).
On second thought, it might not be smart to invest in "alternative energy" farces or antique media.
Good question. Wondering what our fellow Freepers think.
+1.
Trump is 100 times the man Romulan wishes he was. There's no comparison.
My brother works in the oil industry. He says that, while they are laying real low right now, they are also staging their rigs/equipment in oil rich areas/states, in anticipation of a Trump win. I’ve heard some companies have upwards of 100+ oil rigs staged, ready to roll come January 2017.
