Is stockmarket one word? Anyway, I always thought that when a new president is elected, the market tends to go up. Typically I understand that the economy is cyclical and has little to nothing to do with the current president. That’s why this simulus is a joke. (It’s real effects will be felt years later. And they won’t be good effects.) I’m not sure if this is how the stockmarket works. I don’t know anything about that. So maybe someone can answer whether or not the current president/future president can have an effect on the market or if it is just coincidence that, as the chart shows, the market went down the more it looked like Barry would be elected and after he was elected.
