Except that we've been reading about the fucking Peso every morning in SeekingAlpha's Wall Street Breakfast since the first goddamn debate. You are talking about a keenly unstable system that gyrates spectacularly at any input; i may buy gun stocks tomorrow not because the election matters fuckall but because people are idiots.
I doubled my gun/weapons/war stock exposure with my "fuck if I give a shit" fund. Last big crazy bet I made with this was buying a crap top of Ford stock when it was under $2/share. I may be able to retire early depending on how nuts things get.
Most financial writing is little more than looking at how the numbers moved, and creating a narrative about it which includes a little news. Almost never has any reflection on whether the numbers are significant or noteworthy. My best guess about what will happen? Volatility, but nothing that significant on a decade long time frame. And I think it's more likely to be sideways movement instead of major moves up or down. But that's just my opinion.
the clear and present reality of such a polarized power-system in place, as it has slowly grown (since WWII) into the all-encompassing economic entity it is today, will be clearly exposed after this election. The markets will follow, and the academics will continue to preach their positions, in that order. Unless you are at the FED, in which case, I hope you aren't.
