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.”
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.
You should probably short Old El Paso.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Anything pertaining to mental health.
Best stocks? How about REITs?
Any property near a Trump investment will do well.
Just a guess.

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.
I’d probably avoid stocks in any companies dependent on imports or exports. At least until Trump rewrites all the trade deals.
