I'm a firm believer that stocks like $DEO will do well during turbulent times and I think the next 4 years will be fraught with turmoil, regardless of who wins the election. But I haven't been happy with $DEO to date. What other sin stocks would you recommend instead?
Yes, #Trump is perceived as being very successful in business (despite his numerous bankruptcies and unscrupulous business practices). But I think this article oversimplified. While I agree that the economy plays a role, I believe that the fear of terrorism is what's generated most of Trump's support.
That's an excellent point @[Jonathan Caplan](user:25301), a very similar situation indeed. And the fact that B&N was the only major book seller to survive should only strengthen the company $BKS$AMZN.
I'd say that benefit is overrated. The biggest advantage #Amazon had over #BarnesandNoble was no sales tax. That benefit is now gone in most states. B&N is now correctly adjusting its strategy and focusing on the areas it can have a competitive edge -namely it's atmosphere.
While I agree that #Groupon is in trouble, I have to strongly disagree with your rationale. Coupon and discounts sites are nothing new - they've been around far longer than Groupon. $GRPN
