What This Presidential Election Will Do to the Stock Market

Couldn't be more wrong about Trump, Phil. "When he gets elected, this market is gonna crater." Hmm.

Hey Phil,
If i'm right, then your stock market to GDP ratio can't be compared to 1929. My reason is that the bigger market cap of the stock market, the bigger the ratio, meaning that now with MANY more companies on the stock exchange than in 1929, the ratio has been increased only because there are more companies, not because every single company is overvalued. Am i right?

Haha Bias. Trump got elected and were still hiring other companies over seas to review our house loans and probably plenty other. i haven't seen any regulation on that

TRUMP won big time , and the market is sky rocketing .

LOL…… I would love to see your update to this video today.

I guess we all know who the old white guy voted for 😉

the market did go down upon Trump's initial victory. It has bounced back though. Phil WAS right.

Doesn't matter which away the market goes. If Mr. Market goes up, take profits. If it goes down buy good companies on sale.

Good to watch after the elections. Not (yet) what you have predicted Phil. Seems like Wall Street is making the Vulcano a bit higher before everything is gets sucked into a deep Crater

So the stock market was going to "crater" if trump got elected?? The opposite has happened so far, just saying… everything else in the video made perfect sense, thank you!

Markets will strengthen with Trump. The dollar is strengthening as well.

What do you think Icahn could be thinking betting a billion on U.S. Stocks?

Very balanced analysis Phil Town.

Mr. Phil,
I enjoyed the video on the Presidential Election–now that Trump has been elected I have printed out his "Contract with the American Voter," and have it posted on my bookshelf in my office.  There are lots of issues he is vowing to address that will have economic and stock market implications.  Thanks again for the video and hope to see you again in the future.  Let's Play,

the stock market is great since Trump won. You failed on your PREDICTION.

Trump won big, electorate votes, the Senate, and the House of Reps, and yes Phil the market is shivering across the world, your predictions have been incredibly on the spot judging by your rightful experience; I have put my cash assets on Gold as a buffer, I look forward to seeing America win again, I have worked overseas over 18 years now as the grass has been greener outside the U.S for this past two decades, it is about time we return to dream of America and help Trump as a leader make our dream come true.

Just like my stock picks – My values are very important when I pick who I want to run our country. Therefore there is NO way that I could vote for such a horrendous character like Trump.

Women of the world unite……amazing huge differences to iron out, but if the USA is truly the land of the free and the home of the brave should take comfort in infinite capacity to invent and get stuck in. But a long road to hoe.

This is definitely a scenario where an ounce of prevention is worth 10 pounds of cure! Sooner or later we're going to have to pay the price of falsely inflating our economy. It would be much better to take it in the jaw right now than to wait five or 10 years and take it in the gut!

Great Vid. I'm for Trump and loved the video. Solid analysis.

Thank you Phil. Sound analysis of the election results on the market. I agree that a Clinton win will result in a drop in the market and a Trump win will result in a more drastic drop. Either way, Mr. Market will get very emotional. I am treating it like a company earnings report. I will not be trading during the month of Nov and maybe December. With cash, I will watch how investors/traders react and see how far it will move; 5,10 or 20%. 🙂

Excellent vid Phil! Just like PTL on Tuesday's. ? Keep them coming!! ??

Thank you, Phil. I agree with your short- to long-term analysis of the impact on the markets of the two candidates. But if I am to extrapolate the Rule #1 principle of Meaning to the evaluation of candidates (i.e. it's not just all about the benjis, but about personal relevance and alignment with principles) then I have to exclude the whine-hustler from further consideration. That choice may hamper the markets long term, so I'll have to keep stock picking, rather than going autopilot with index etfs. If the imbecile wins, I'm ready with cash to buy from the wish list and watch my picks appreciate as folks realize it's not the sky that's falling–just our sense of who our neighbors really are.

Great analysis Phil

I appreciate the video, but some blanket statements were not true regarding Trump.
As I understand it, Trump is for free trade (per his own words), but he's specifically for fair trade that helps the middle class.
He's also not for withdrawing from NATO; he's for member countries pay what they agreed to pay as their share of the costs (a minimum of 2% of their respective GDPs).

This was by far tge most educational video this whole election…Thanks for your insight Phil!!!

Thanks phil. greetings from italy
