To paraphrase Miller Tabak equity strategist Peter Boockvar, a political science degree on Wall Street may be more important than a finance degree these days. Since the crisis created the need for unprecedented government intervention, stocks are influenced just as much by policy decisions as they are by fundamentals and valuations.
Last week's announcement of the "Volcker Rule" and President Obama's digs at the "banker [who] puts the rest of us at risk for his own selfish gain" in the State of the Union address are just the latest examples.

That's not allâ¦
