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.
I’d probably avoid stocks in any companies dependent on imports or exports. At least until Trump rewrites all the trade deals.
It will take time to get genuine valuations in the market as the economy re gears itself to be real. It's also true there is the time bomb of the debt, the time bomb of the fed zero interest policy, so it's not a given the market will begin on the plus side. It could take a couple of years, as it did with Reagan, it really could.
That said, there are some new findings about rare earth elements in coal ash.
>>unless the electorate is even more stupid than I imagine<<
Why yes, they are.
Will firearm and ammunition sales start to tank? That’s been the one business sector Obama has been good for.

A lot of Illegals will be racing to the border.
Your dog would have been better than Mittens the fraidy cat.
I think TBT (short bonds) is a great buy right here. 35.6
If you believe the Fed is going to raise rates, this should be a core holding.
Yep, and my Dog is Dumber than a Box of Barbara Boxers.
Peabody is not well run. The best coal company is Alliance Resource Partners (ALRP).
I’d invest in any company that might make bombs that might be dropped on ISIS.
I’ve have that and it is down 81% right now since I bought it.
Look at the interval between recessions. The markets correct themselves ~ every 8 years......1983, 1992, 2000, 2008,......we’re due in 2016/17.....
Just saying. The Dems will blame it on Trump, but that we have market corrections is not the issue. The duration of the downturn is. Obama never was able to turn around the 2008 recession, so they just called it the “Great Recession” and blamed Obama’s incompetence on Bush. Trump will make sure any downturn is short and that the economy will rebound strongly. I expect 5%+ growth in the US under Trump partly because of pent up growth stifled by Obama, but also because of the Trump Admin.’s policies. The Wall and the death of Obamacare will get things going.....
Coal, energy, independent health insurance, real estate?
Military build up should mean military industries. Infrastructure and the wall should mean heavy construction.

Invest in my company. We build telemetry (Tracking) products for commerce and law enforcement.
