I read this article by Ben Carlson:
Does the Stock Market Care Who the President Is?
After Carlson presents a table showing Presidential term losses:
My guess going forward (presented in the smallest font because it's purely speculative ):
We go up in irregular fashion, people forget the previous bad times, and then the yield curve inverts. Then the market goes down with a (hopefully mild) recession. Then off to the races again.
Does the Stock Market Care Who the President Is?
After Carlson presents a table showing Presidential term losses:
and the last paragraph:Every president saw severe corrections or bear markets on their watch. The average loss over all four-year terms was 30 percent. The average loss under a Republican administration was 37 percent while the average loss under the Democrats was 24 percent. But these differences don’t really tell you much about the two parties. The stock market does not care about Republicans or Democrats.
Something to consider in all the media back and forth. Does not tell us how to time the market though....investors should prepare for the possibility of large losses in the stock market in the next four years. Regardless of who is in the Oval Office, that’s just how the stock market functions.
