over 90% of election years are up for stocks
every single election year has been up when the incumbent is finishing his second and final term... interesting


This is an interesting statement that has caused me much confusion. Twice on this thread I have read a Yahoo news link that stated exactly the opposite, 90% of election years were down years, and a sitting Vice President has only ONCE ever been elected to office since the 1800's... and that was George Bush.

Could you provide any kind of link or substantiation for your observation? I've also read here that the investors almanac has stated that election years were up years for the market.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. I feel this is not an unimportant issue in regards to market direction.

Regards,

JM
