    It's not just Trump. CNBC contributors say that since there is a Republican President and Republican majorities in both houses, the Government might actually get some things done to help the economy.  The main thing being lower taxes.

    I suspect it has to do with the foreign policy positions he espoused. Markets don't like instability and her hostility toward Russia created a geopolitical instability that had economists fearful of war. Russian being one of our largest debt holders didn't help matters.

    It's temporary. Ishmael is right though, the prospect of soaring corporate welfare helps... A lot. This post was edited by ForkNdaRoad at November 12, 2016 8:28 PM MST

    What her?  That is utter nonsense.  But okay.  ?????  her hostility toward Russia created a geopolitical instability that had economists fearful of war.   WHO?  Hillary?  Come ON.  That is not even remotely true. 

    Please. No more.
