It's funny how just a couple weeks ago there was a news article about how stock markets had dropped due to Trump.  Now they are rising due to Trump.

The reality is that decisions made by politicians are, at best, only distantly connected to share prices.  There really isn't that much a politician can do to "help" the economy.  Maybe make sure some basic infrastructure is in place and help ensure there is a good workforce, but for the most part the best thing politicians can do is to remove impediments to businesses succeeding.

In any case, personally I've moved most of my money out of equities, I don't like the way things look today.  From todays news I was at least two weeks too early in doing so (probably a lot more), but I'm ok with that.
