Will the 2012 Election or Supreme Court Healthcare Ruling Matter to Wall Street Investors?
I wonder whether the 2012 U.S. presidential election will matter to investors after all is said and done. Sure, there’ll be the usual knee-jerk volatility leading up to the election and in the near-term aftermath. But will the fundamentals really change? I think not.
For all the rhetoric and turmoil, the election of 2012 will leave the U.S. pretty much where it started. We’ll still be stuck in an economic slump, worried about our diminishing status on the world stage and bitterly divided politically. The new president won’t have many tools at his disposal with which to fix things. And, even if he did (alas, there’s no viable ‘She’ on the horizon), he won’t have enough support in a polarized Congress to make much use of them anyway.
I also doubt whether the Supreme Court’s health care ruling will have much sustainable impact beyond a one-time burst/fall of impacted health care related stocks. If the Supreme Court affirms Obamacare, health care costs will continue to rise until no one but the rich can afford it. If it votes down the law, the same thing happens.
It makes you wonder if all the fuss about the 2012 U.S. presidential election is just a moot point. Why will the world be so engrossed for most of next year
in worrying about who will get the job?
I just don’t think it will matter to sensible, informed investors.
What will matter to investors?
The only thing that will matter is if government spending can be significantly curtailed and reduced. That, and that alone, is the only viable way to reduce our debt crisis and lead us out of the economic morass. Consider this: Since the 1960’s, the U.S. population grew 50% while government spending rocketed 500%! That says it all.
