Not too clear was I? The implication I was making is that inflation could undermine the equities market causing a rotation out of stocks in order to lock in capital gains. I think this is referred to as a flight to quality, or fixed investments such as bonds. Obviously these are not the most lucrative investments in a period of inflation, just the safest. If there is substance to this theory, I would expect The Street to discount its effects immediately after the election, or even before based on the polls. Rather than speculate on secondary effects, I would like to know if anyone thinks a trillion dollar tax cut, targeted as discretionary funds due to the recipients, will be inflationary? If so, what effect would this have on the markets?
