Stock Market Performance By President

Can we put this argument to rest yet? Probably doubtful.

Summary

° This article looks at stock market returns by President over the past 90 years.

° While the two leading parties have been in power for roughly equal amounts of time over this horizon, stock market performance has favored one party.

° This result likely differs from expectations given a belief that one party is more pro-business.

° Economic cycles likely still carry more weight than electoral cycles, and market corrections driven by politics may be an opportunity.
