Funny...I was just about to comment on this topic. I do equity analysis and build portfolios for my former boss in the investment advisory industry. I love doing it. I'm starting to see a pattern in the market that is different than the last four years. And, make no mistake - who's in the white house has a massive influence over how the market behaves. I wish it weren't so. What I'm seeing now are starts and fits. Upward-trending equities are really jumpy. I'm getting stopped out much more than I did with Trump. I did great with Trump...but anybody could have. In short get ready for more volatility. If you trade options the ole' "long straddle" is already in our conversations...just betting on volatility. To answer the OP's question - No. They won't be good for the markets for the normal retail investor - those trying to hold a 401K full of mutual funds, etc.

What's the second part of this joke?

Well, they are going to be very profitable for my oil and airline shares.
