Stocks do 9 times better with a Democrat in the White House

Stocks do 9 times better with a Democrat in the White House....

While Republicans promote themselves as the friendliest party for Wall Street, stock investors do better when Democrats occupy the White House. From a dollars- and-cents standpoint, it’s not even close.

The BGOV Barometer shows that, over the five decades since John F. Kennedy was inaugurated, $1,000 invested in a hypothetical fund that tracks the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) only when Democrats are in the White House would have been worth $10,920 at the close of trading yesterday.

That’s more than nine times the dollar return an investor would have realized from following a similar strategy during Republican administrations. A $1,000 stake invested in a fund that followed the S&P 500 under Republican presidents, starting with Richard Nixon, would have grown to $2,087 on the day George W. Bush left office.

I'm not gonna argue with you.

Democrats really are just out to help the rich. They just talk a good game.
 
The stock market has doubled since the stimulus.
4.2 million private sector jobs have been created since 2009.
GDP has been growing since 2009.
Americans net worth is up $9 trillion dollars since 2009.
Auto sales are up. Retail sales are up. Home sales are up. Unemployment is down.
GM was saved, and is now the number one automaker in the world.

Obama has done a very good job.
 
Its amazing that the GOP response to the fact that the economy does better when Democrats are in power is to insult people. Rather telling how pathetic they are
 
Not only did Chris post this once before and get his ass handed to him....it seems the same lame liberal arguments were brought in by some of his leftis support.

It is like deja vu.

Chris: the registered asshole.
 
I could post the evidence, but watching the liberals paint themselves into a corner is way too fun.
 
This is one of those lie by omission things. Not the "stocks do better under Democratic Presidents," but the idea that stocks "do 9x better" under Democrats. That is false.

It is interesting that you chose not to respond my post.
 
George W. Bush inherited a strong economy, a budget surplus, and a nation at peace.

Eight years later, he left Obama with a shattered economy, a trillion dollar deficit, and two useless wars.

Obama saved the country from another Great Depression, rebuilt GM, reformed healthcare, reformed Wall Street, doubled the stock market, created 10 straight quarters of GDP growth, created 27 straight months of private sector job growth, got Bin Laden, got Gaddafi, and got us out of Iraq.

And now with the automatic spending cuts and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts in 2012, Obama has solved the deficit problem as well.

When Obama was selling his $787 billion stimulus package, he consistently bragged about how shovel-ready construction jobs would be funded across the nation. Even the President later admitted that was a lie, when he told the New York Times: “There’s no such thing as shovel-ready projects.”

He sucks.
