Hillary Won the Election Today, So How’d the Market Do?

According to a recent poll by NBC/WSJ, Clinton is up by 11 points on Trump — all but eviscerating the great orange one from ever stepping foot in the White House. My initial reaction is to buy burglary protection stocks — since criminality will be all the rage under the Clinton regime. Everything trickles down — in this case: burglary.

But in all seriousness, if today was the day that the Clinton-Kaine campaign hammered coffin nails into Trump’s live body, how’d the market do? Which sectors were affected most?

Autos, drugs, textiles, banks, semis, trucking and food sectors all bore holes in the market today — sporting deleterious breadth of less than 20%.

On the upside:

Gold, utilities, steel, REITs and metal fabrication did well.

What can we surmise from all this?

During an H. Clinton administration, we’ll all be employed by our local welders creating doomsday devices and/or in a mine in search for metals for an alien race. The memories of when cars, clothes, banks and food were easily acquired will be all but a wistful after-thought — a time in America when things were good. The water was bountiful and milk and bread retailed at the grocer in great abundance.

If today is the celebration of political victory for the establishment, prepare for a woefully forboding 4 years of sheer market fuckery.
