It is definitely the time to invest in companies like these. #Trump will not only boost military spending but I wouldn't be surprised if he lead us right into a war.
What I don't get is, #Trump wants to keep out terrorists. But terrorists can just claim they are from any country other than the 7 which were banned. It's the regular people who can't get it.
Actually Carlos, that is incorrect. The problem #Trump faces is that he banned Muslims from these nations but not other religions. He made it a religious test. Had he said he was going to equally vet or equally ban all people from these nations, he would not be having the problems he is having. Banning Muslims as a religion but not other religions is fusion of church and state and is unconstitutional.
With #Trump in office, war is likely inevitable (with ISIS, with Russia, with China, maybe all of the above). So yes I'd say it's a good time to invest in military companies.
My concern is that if this stock market crash does happen, #Trump will look around for a way out. #Bannon's way out is war, in the Middle East and against China, maybe both at the same time. Demagogues always look at war as a means of expanding the money supply. If Trump takes that advice it could mean trouble.
#Trump's acts inhibiting free trade and creating trade barriers by taxes will have an even worse chilling effect on growth and cause inflation to boot. That said, his budgetary ambitions are only acceptable when compared to #Hillary Clinton. The Republicans have elected a Democrat when it comes to spending. It is up to them to reign him in.
#Trump wants to spend an exorbitant amount of money which is why I derided the Republican choice early on. Still, it's better than #Clinton. In either case, Congress' job is to manage the nations purse like it is their job to manage the Federal Reserve. Hopefully they, won't fail us twice by giving that duty away.
The snowball is a big bully named #Trump who got into office talking about getting government out of business and is instead injecting government into it. We still await real measures that cut bureaucracy, taxes, etc. Even so, talking up and down stocks in an irate fashion by the President and implying threats to do things is causing chaos the longer it continues.
They refuse to trust their guru, #MiltonFriedman. Helicopter money crosses that divide between the financial economy and the real economy. Base money for the people is a no brainier. I think the Fed knows this, but doesn't really care. It just does not care. It would rather risk the rise of people like #Trump than to share base money with the real economy.
This is the first real result of #Trump policies. I hope future ones will be kinder in many senses of the word and more well thought out. Regardless of what's fair, the world watches the US closely because we are a role model.
Expectations for #Trump are mostly fueled by Trump himself. And yes, they are most likely way too high. Reagan and Obama came in as the economy bottomed. #Reagan did better as #Obama got sidetracked by #Obamacare and then the Republicans took the house and wouldn't let him do anything. Moral to that story is do something when you have the votes. Trump has the votes but maybe not the economy with which to achieve much more.
#Reagan was a spender. #Trump may shrink GDP with a trade war. And companies are awash with cash. Tax cuts will not spur a whole lot of investment if companies are only interested in holding cash because they fear the financial system. Trump may spur a few new factories but port business will slow as a result. The factories will pay poorly and high paying port jobs may diminish.
Lenders are drooling to lend to people who cannot pay it back, Bernard. What will be interesting is to actually see if lenders are equipped with guaranteed loans that are toxic. Maybe #Trump wants to cut other things out of the budget in order to prepare for the next housing bubble, a guaranteed one by the Federal Government.
Companies know not to get on #Trump's bad side, but it will hopefully be the average American who benefits from this. And while yes, many companies were planning these expansions anyway, pressure from Trump can't hurt to ensure those jobs stay in the US. Plus a little good PR never hurt a company. $WMT$AMZN
