Hey people, participants and lurkers.
I've enjoyed this forum lately, and its helping me to gel some of my trading ideas. With regard to the political comments lately, although not surprising given temporal considerations, just a comment on the static partisan stereotypes of the past 50 years...Republicans underperform Democrats by almost a 2:1 margin with regard to stock market returns. If you'd like to challenge me on this assertion I'm happy to direct you to a number of studies which vet my conclusion.
Certainly I appreciate many of the tangible gains brought to me by capitalism in general, but am truly fatigued by the partisan claims of out-performance by the "other" party with regard to stock market returns. Let me repeat: Democrats outperform Republicans in this faux-ownership republic by a margin of 2:1 with regard to equity returns. Perhaps "socialism" isn't so bad after all.
