Mitt Romney: “ ‘Hope and Change’ had a powerful appeal. But tonight I'd
ask a simple question: If you felt that excitement when you voted for
Barack Obama, shouldn’t you feel that way now that he’s President Obama?
You know there’s something wrong with the kind of job he’s done as
president when the best feeling you had was the day you voted for him.”
On the eve of the 2008 elections, Nov 3, 2008, S&P 500 closed at 952.77 and the Dow Jones closed at 9139.27. As I write this, S&P 500 is at 1411.38 and the Dow Jones is at 13138.61. As goes the stock market, so go my savings. As a person who saw his 401K reduce to 201K in the Bush years, the good feeling on Nov 4, 2008 has only improved.

Since JFK's presidency, Democratic Presidents have seen the stock market go up 5.23 times as much as Republican Presidents. That's an excess return of 423%. As I comnented the other day, the GOP 99% are turkeys voting for Thanksgiving. You can take the data back to FDR and it's much the same. While destroying their savings these turkeys take comfort in the knowledge that there is no global warming, women should be barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen, and that guns are good for you.

Odds are that you will be feeling even better by 11/4/2016.
