My two-cents on the election, updated

I wrote this several weeks ago and still feel the same way.

The one addition I would make is that an Obama victory will likely hit prices of dividend-paying stocks quiet heavily as the president wants to tax dividends at the same rate as income, a big disincentive for tax-averse investors. That could morph quickly to a broader-based risk-off reaction and some short-term dollar strength.

Best in 2026
