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.
120,000,000 People Vote in the General Election.
5,000, 10,000, 15,000 or more show up at Trump Rallies. I’ve been to the two Rallies held in Orange County CA, Costa Mesa and Anaheim. While it’s a good sign, it isn’t a Barometer.
In Anaheim the Venue was not full. It was a good size crowd and people were pretty excited to be there, but compared to the BO Crowds in 2008 it was pretty docile. Just my $.02.
Ping for later.
Thanks for starting an interesting conversation Vike.
I would not be surprised to see the market overall tank as we approach the election, like in 2008, or right after. The market is artificially inflated by Fed dollars, and anticipation of that money being taken from liquidity might bring a huge selloff, followed by a revaluation of what stocks are actually worth. It might settle in at 20-40 pecent less than current, and then build from there.
You missed my point. It wasn’t that Romney was any good, it was that Obama was so bad and he still Won it big time.
I still say he will most likely be the next President because for 2 reasons, the Dems are in civil war mode and I see more likely Bernie ending up going indy and that will weaken Hillary and also she does not the charisma of an Obama.
Trump in a landslide.
If Trump wins the General, coal will certainly improve. But I think he will revitalize other energy-sector players as well, by opening federal land to oil and gas exploration and development.
So, either coal stocks, or an energy-sector mutual fund. I vastly prefer exchange traded funds .
Personally, I am going to stay exactly where I have had my investments for a long time: QQQ and SPY. These exchange traded funds let me participate in the American economy without requiring much work.
My belief is that the entire economy will step up quickly when Trump is elected.
I hope you are correct.
Got to remember there was massive voter fraud as well.
Recently one of the talking heads pointed out that the networks were covering an empty podium awaiting Trump’s arrival WHILE HILLARY WAS SPEAKING. His associate pointed out that was not “editorial” but “ratings”. Ratings! Yet none extended this logically to consider a potential Trump landslide. Think about it. Hillary can’t even get ratings that will lead her friends to give her airtime. Yet we are fed “polls” that say she is competitive.
Anything pertaining to mental health.
Best stocks? How about REITs?
Any property near a Trump investment will do well.
Just a guess.

Have heard that at other plaaces there were more people than space to fit them, much, much more wanted to go.
Defense, oil,gas,coal,law enforcement,construction
Caterpillar for sure
One other truth: The media has pitched a narrative that most people know is NOT true, that Trump is a racist, sexist, evil person no one sand should like. As a result, a lot of people who WILL vote for him don't say they will.
I think we should all act as if this will be a squeaker, but unless something major changes, I think it's going to be a landslide of epic proportions.
Great point. The Dow has benefited from Obama propping up the market with government money.
Once this ends, the truth about the financial health of the market will show.
Peabody Energy is in bankruptcy. Might want to avoid that one.
Toss in the fraud, and it could be a tough go. I was stunned that Obama won the second time....still am. Had to be fraud, unless the electorate is even more stupid than I imagine.
Once the deportations start it will become apparent that the illegal population is much larger than the 11 million they put out there. IMO it's 2 or 3x bigger. When we get a ruling on the 14th Amendment that will strip anchor babies of their ill-gotten citizenship, that's got to be good for another 20 mil or so.
In short, we're looking at talking about 15% out of the real estate market, and that's not bullish. It will start with sharp price declines in apt buildings in big cities, but will eventually affect the whole RE market.
Don't worry, you'll be buying a better house, cheaper, and soon.
