What is the stock market telling us about the November election?
Despite the fact that America currently has over 38 million unemployed workers, the market is down 8.5% this year, having gone up 32% since the late March low. Why is the stock market going up while our economy teeters on the edge of a Great Depression?
There are several factors currently at work in the market with the most obvious being the extraordinary intervention by our leaders in Washington. Congress has authorized mind-boggling amounts of stimulus funds while the Fed has signaled that it is ready to purchase nearly anything and mostly everything. Even more spending and buying are sure to follow. This money flood is so massive that undoubtedly there are mind-boggling sums going into equities.
Washington's interventions in the markets has had a calming effect on prices and volatility, allowing investors to begin to look ahead to November, where it seems that President Trump is ever more likely to win re-election. There are several key reasons why more and more voters are beginning to lean toward Trump. Prior to the Pandemic Lockdown, America was enjoying a tremendous economy, which many voters attributed to Trump's pro-growth policies, such as cutting taxes and reducing regulations. As bad as current economic conditions are now, people are beginning to hope that perhaps the worst has passed. The economy is starting to be perceived as poised to improve rather than worsen, certainly a trend that greatly favors Trump.

Given what has taken place it is amazing that the entire financial system hasn’t totally collapsed. I think it shows the market knows the shutdowns are manufactured as a means to take out the President.
I think the President motivates the dems to NOT vote at all.
Can you explain how we’re going to not have any more presidents?
I can only come up with some theories. I just don’t see any presidential elections happening after the 2020 election, no matter who wins. I’ve said for over a decade that every year is more “interesting” than the year before. And every year has delivered. So think about that when you see what’s happening politically this year, and carry that thinking into 2021, 2022, 2023.
We’re done. Western civilization is a “dead civilization walking.” It reached its peak and its fall is going to be magnificent.
I just think President Trump is our last Republican President. The left is evil, relentless and vast, since big media is owned by them. And when that comes to fruition all bets are off so you might be right.
This is very believable.

That is one of the possible scenarios I see. The other is where he wins in 2020. The left is an amazing force. And like I said, every year is more “interesting” than the one before over the last decade.
Donald Trump is going to slaughter the competition. The naysayers around here need to stuff a sock in it.
Nobody admits to being a never trumper anymore, but they have morphed into “probably not a trumper” along with all the accompanying drivel. The efforts to dispirit and Defame Donald are transparent.
Mark it down it’s going to be a political slaughter by Donald J trump.
‘Trump is going to win because his opponent is a demented perv who is going to be under constant bombardment by declassified details of Democrat corruption.’
this election will be tight aw a drum, IMHOl neither candidate has a ceiling much higher than 285 EV’s unless a dramatic twist in projections occurs...you’re correct about the disconnect between Wall St. and the electorate...
‘though I think some old folks who voted for him last time will be persuaded that he’s trying to kill them by opening up’
you are correct, but not for that reason; a number old folks who voted for Trump have passed away in the interim...
‘Like I said, I think Trump will be our last president.’
