Want To Know More About Our ValuEngine View Newsletter? We still find a positive economic environment for equities within the United States. As we noted a few weeks ago-- when the market was in a sell off mode, most of the doom and gloom seemed to be emanating from political and media sources looking to capitalize on the slight wobble for electoral purposes. Now, it is worthwhile to note that many of those same "analysts" claim the ongoing rebound is due to the US election results. But we believe that we are seeing not the short-term noise of a mid-term election, but rather the continuation of favorable long-term economic trends within the US that are --finally--being bolstered by an improved employment situation. We hope that nothing from a new GOP-dominated Congress--such as a return to harsh austerity policies favored by the American right wing--will negatively impact the overall upward trajectory of the US economy. We remind investors once more than mixing politics and investing is a very bad idea. Relying on blatantly political sources for economic analysis and advice is a quick path to a poorly performing portfolio. Whenever you hear an analyst, pundit, or other talking head of any ideological predilection attribute market moves to election results--or the daily ebb and flow of life in Washington DC, it's time to hold on to that wallet/purse. Consider the market since January 2009--DOW up 94%, SP500 up 118%, NASDAQ up 183%--Anyone who listened to the "BUY GOLD BUY GUNS BUY SEEDS" crowd after the election of 2008 missed out on an epic rally.
