OK, Trump Will Win, So What Stocks Would Be Best To Invest In
6/12/16 | OneVike

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 thought the same until the 47% comment and the black swan disruption that was Bengazi. Why the latter made a difference I can’t say but it did.

I expect a real black swan this time when it is apparent that Trump is thrashing shillary. Nothing is past the hudspa of these cretins in power now and I mean nothing is out of bounds for them. Think the unthinkable and then tripple it. No, I don’t trust them at all.

As for stocks? Coal, yes, maybe but I’d say electricity in general. Our electric consumption has been squashed for the last decade from a normal trend that has weathered all downturns and resumed its original pace. It looks to have a lot of catching up to do but I don’t expect rates to go up, just consumption.

I think the entire market will go up on a broad front. My money continues to be on the indices and blue chips.

I’ve thought of this as well long ago but it would be worth it to lose money on housing to be rid of the social burden. Besides, it is section 8 housing that will suffer and that is not my market. All boats do rise and fall with the tide but some hit bottom before others.

I do also firmly believe that the illegals are more like 30 mm and the 14th amendment claim jumpers are well into the tens of millions. Kalifukya would get hit hard.

I doubt your scenario will happen but I sure wish it would. The nation would be a whole lot less crowded and then we might build a well ordered legal but expat labor base which we will need if we are go resume growth and manufacturing I believe.

Sadly, I think a lot of us are getting way too excited about a Trump win and way over selling the benefits of that IF it were to happen.

I don’t see how it can take less than two years to see impact. It took that long with Reagan and then it came so slowly that it was hard to see but it did come.

The oilfield was going down but the economy was coming up by the time things started to turn. I remember the times well. Real change did not take place until the second term and then the real benefits were crowed over by klintoon.

I’m not counting any chickens now though.

Indeed. Much of the electorate are unbelieveably stupid so as to defy the imagination.

So stupid that they make me angry.

More than half the professional investors make money "on the way down" so, yes, there will be a blip for reserves to be refilled. Count on it, and/or capitalize off it.

Best advise i got was a from a trucker at a craps table in Stateline, NV. He and i were the only people at the table. As i walked up, he asked me if i was for him, or against him, i said for him (the endless stream of $100 chips in front of him made it hard to argue) so he said, "do what i do." and with my $10 chips I copied him and passed the dice every time. I walked away much richer that night, in money, but even much more better off in understanding.... The market is the same way... I don't have any of the money I made that night, but he's made me a killing with the advise he imparted on me.

Thanks Trucker Dude with the sunglasses, after midnight, at Whiskey Petes that scared the F out of me but taught me a lesson.

Is that a roundabout way of saying don’t fight the fed?

Catapiller, John Deere, Mr. Trump talks up infrastructure a lot in his book “Crippled America”

Along the same lines, transportation and energy might do well too.

All in all, the stock market topped out a year ago and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a nasty correction sometime between tomorrow and next year

No, it was more of a roundabout way to say that advice comes from the strangest places, that can change the direction of a persons life. I often wonder what would have happened if I’d spent 4 hours betting against him.

Your dog probably could have, but all we had was Willard.

That said, there are some new findings about rare earth elements in coal ash.

Interesting thanks.
