Election Consequences and Investing

As with any election as people and power shifts consequences occur and change the shape of the economy and the country as a whole. It might take years to fully realize the shift or just a matter of days after the formal change occurs. Tonight was a big shift in power in the Senate and it could still be bigger as a runoff is left and not all votes are counted. The electorate wanted change tonight and they will get it. As investors though we might like the change or hate the change we have to see what companies could win or lose from the change. Will corporate taxes be lowered, its a strong possibility and so that will mean higher earnings for all companies boosting stock prices and values. What other things will get the go ahead from the government or receive government subsidies. I'm not sure yet and it is hard to tell until the law comes into effect but we can make guesses of what will occur.

I'm excited to see the new changes will be and it is sure to open up new investment potential.

The Best Day of the Year

Today is so important. We go and get rid of that scoundrel in office and replace him with someone way more palatable. It's the day we support the people who have done a great job in office and reward them with another term. It's also the day we show our support and make our voices heard. It shows that we support our government and system we have and want it to continue as we actively participate in a meaningful way.

Even if the person you support has no chance of winning you should still vote because you might embolden him to run again. There is always the next election to have your candidate win. It shows a smooth transition between those in power. 

No excuses just vote.
