The consensus is that the markets will rally in the wake of the Bush
victory (and yes, I know that it isn't official at this moment, but
if Kerry doesn't concede today, and the demos start whining about
THIS election being fixed (it MUST have been; their man lost), the
demo party's image will be worse than the Communist party's).
If you have any spare cash, put it into common stocks in the
consumer goods, manufacturing, finance, and health care sectors.
The market rally should last through the end of the year, especially
if retailers have a good holiday season. After that, there will be
the traditional beginning-of-year selloff, so take your profits
before then.
I am anticipating a short-term gain of 5-7%, which is not bad for
two months. Remember, you heard it here first.
