WHY?

Since 1946 stock market has averaged 12.9% with a split Congress.

This is 6.2% higher when Ds have total control.
This is 4.9% higher when Rs have total control.

A stalled divided Govt is great for the stock market.....your thoughts on why this is?

It’s much harder to jam bad policies through with a split Congress. Biden’s inflationary agenda will be stopped.

True. But this goes both ways under D or R Presidents.

I agree, beyond consistent Govt programs, these new Govt programs, new regulations and new taxes you get with D or R control.....only get in the way of a great economy, and thus great stock market.

Mixed Govt puts these new hinderences to business on a hold, and shows those with common sense.......beyond our most basic consistent Govt programs, we really don't need Govt and their worthless polices from worthless politicians on both sides

This shows Government is the problem....not the solution.
