FYI: The post-election rally in the U.S. stock market has been nothing short of spectacular. In the month since Donald Trump's victory, all of the major equity benchmarks soared. The S&P 500 hit a record high of 2,260 on Friday, pushing the year-to-date gain for the index up to 12.6%, including dividends.
About half of the market's year-to-date gains came after the election, an unexpected and pleasant surprise for investors who had feared that a Trump win at the polls would spell bad news for equities. Instead, investors quickly realized that a Trump presidency, along with a Republican-controlled Congress, could actually be a boon for stocks.
