Trump to win?

Re: Trump to win?

How will the stock market react to a Clinton win -vs- a Trump win? What market sectors will benefit from Clinton or Trump?

The Clinton camp will be all about infrastructure in the first 100 days. If she wins on 11/8 you'll hear about this plan. As you might imagine, I have no contacts in the Trump camp so I've no idea what they really have planned. No matter who wins, don't invest in coal, that's a non-starter. With Trump, you'll get more traditional energy, with Clinton more renewable energy. If either wins, don't be poor. That's a bad plan in the US. If Trump wins and you're poor, don't get sick. If Clinton wins and you're middle class, get ready to pay a lot more for health insurance.

As for Wall Street, they have all the money. If Trump wins I expect they will suck up to him like he's the 2nd coming and he'll love it as much as the Clintons, the Bush family or anyone else who's risen to the top in the US.

The wild card with Trump is that he probably does have the power as president to nullify trade agreements like NAFTA. A trade war would not be good for anyone in my opinion, including Wall Street.

Re: Trump to win?

When Carl Bernstein speculates "bombshell" and "national security chatter" it is a very serious matter:

As for Comey reopening this 11 days before the election, he was forced to do so. If he had waited for the election could you imagine what would happen if there is indictable material here. You would have a constitutional crisis. He felt he had to reopen. There has been talk that a number of FBI agents who felt that Clinton should have been prosecuted based on the information they had in July. Some agents are still incensed and they would have leaked it if Comey had not come forth.

As I stated the FBI has to have staff on this 24/7 so we have definitive information before we vote.

Meanwhile Wikileaks will continue to dump more each day, so there may be a lot more damaging information there,

HRC created this mess and she will suffer the consequences IF she deserves too.

Re: Trump to win?

The Donald predicted this email thing would blow up in HRC's face because of Huma's crazy husband. Back in 2015, Trump alleged that his Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, a top adviser to Hillary Clinton, was passing sensitive information to him and now it turns out he might have been right.

Re: Trump to win?

No matter how it plays out, this guy needs to be given a gold watch and a pension as soon as possible and turn it over to an independent prosecutor. His decision making is baffling and leads to all sorts of untoward speculation.

...He might be seeking to restore his badly damaged reputation, recognizing that the damage he has inflicted on the FBI is substantial. Three days ago, American Thinker published an open letter from a retired FBI Agent, Hugh Galyean, that laid out some of the damage Comey has inflicted on the institution he leads. There is little doubt that this reached many in the FBI family, putting in print what people have only whispered about. If those silenced voices start speaking out, Comey could face a serious loss of face. In this scenario, he is heading off a staff rebellion, possibly including mass resignations.

Rush Limbaugh today discussed an alternative theory, that by announcing an FBI Investigation resuming, Comey is putting a lid on further attention to Wikileaks. I guess this means that Clinton forces will argue we must wait for the investigation to be complete (after the election) before speaking about what the evil Russians are planting into our politics.

It is possible that something so dramatic came up in the pertinent emails that postponing a public reaction by not announcing the reopening of the investigation would, be regarded as political interference by covering up a smoking gun until after the election. In this scenario, Comey is assuming the evidence cannot be suppressed, and that he would be held accountable after it comes out. This scenario also indicates that we could be headed for a constitutional crisis, involving the possible indictment of a president-elect before an election. Or the evidence being turned over to the House of Representatives for impeachment hearings.

Meanwhile, Loving grandmother Loretta Lynch know what she'd rather do.

Comey’s decision to make public new evidence that may raise additional legal questions about Clinton was contrary to the views of the Attorney General, according to a well-informed Administration official. Lynch expressed her preference that Comey follow the department’s longstanding practice of not commenting on ongoing investigations, and not taking any action that could influence the outcome of an election, but he said that he felt compelled to do otherwise.

She'd rather handle it like some chance meeting at the airport,

The private meeting, described by both parties as a chance encounter, came as the Justice Department was wrapping up its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email account during her tenure at the State Department.

Re: Trump to win?

Seems like its coming down to whether those that govern (or seek to govern) are capable of governing themselves?

Whether a philandering President, genital sexting, groping billionaires, or corrupt philanthropic Foundations (the WSJ didn't mince any words I see) it seems the limits of a heretofore tolerant public are no longer an unknown. Even the openly Hillary supportive MSM can't put a believable spin or persuade the masses to dismiss this stuff any more - it's finally become that blatant and offensive.

Can't wait for the Central Banker equivalent, once the financial cracks open up some more and start swallowing innocents in ever increasing numbers...

Lol. That cover's hilarious. This election's unreal. All coming down to who showed/grabbed whose genitals when.

Re: Trump to win?

What's also interesting is the timing.

I'm across the time/date line so I'm not exactly sure when this rolled out.

Did it roll out Friday afternoon once the markets closed?

The last time I recall something similar happening it was a few months ago on a Friday afternoon in San Francisco after the markets had closed when the phone of a fellow classmate and friend(CTO of a major Turkish mobile carrier) started blowing up with over the attempted coup.

That was a very interesting and action packed weekend.

That turned out to be a major mess that hasn't yet ended, and this looks like it could be going the same route.

I'm starting to get a bit anxious around North American Friday Afternoons.

A few days ago Newsnight here on BBC TV interviewed a Turkish Minister who gave a very clear impression that Turkey were about to move their border to enclose a large area of Iraq to "protect" their citizens in Mozel.

Re: Trump to win?

We all agree on this one and HRC is the one demanding more information. I'm surprised but glad you agree with her. His letter to Congress was vaguely incriminating. He sent it because if on the odd chance there actually is something there and he didn't do this, he might be the one on the hot seat. The way he did this was sloppy and self serving. Now the Dems are demanding the FBI release more information. It's going to be an interesting 11 days.

Re: Trump to win?

The emails on Huma's computer definitely involve national security. They were shared with the intelligence committee as well as the judiciary committee. They would not have been brought up 11 days before the election unless there is very good reason to do so.

The public needs to know as much as possible before the election.

Re: Trump to win?

FBI informs Congress that is is probing new Clinton emails for classified material:

http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/28/fbi-p...on-emails.html

Why announce now 11 days before the election? Why did Tim Kaine cancel his Florida rally? Yes, he did attract only 30 people at a rally recently.

If new very damaging information is found, will Hillary be forced to step down? Of course a deal would be likely to have her step down for "health" reasons.

Are the Wikileaks revelations of possible massive fraud with the Clinton Foundation also involved? There is lots of damaging information there.

If she did step down who would replace her? Tim Kaine? Would they draft Biden to save the day?

I still remember the spring and early summer of 1974 when I was early declaring Nixon was involved in Watergate. I remember Ben Bradlee saying to my table at lunch: We love to find low dealings in high places"

This election may get even stranger and wilder than before.

Here is the Wikileaks scorecard:

http://www.mostdamagingwikileaks.com/

Hillary campaign chief just deleted his ENTIRE Twitter timeline:

http://truthfeed.com/breaking-hillar...imeline/32477/

The cover up is always worse than the crime. At this rate, a special prosecutor will find Clinton, Podesta, Mills and Brazile violated the same laws that collared the Watergate 7. Maybe they can use the same cells they locked Mitchell, Haldeman, Erlichman, and Colson?

Re: Trump to win?

2001 - 2003 I was based in Washington DC trying to establish a Video-911 system for the entire USA via access my rights provided by three US telecom patents and as such was a regular invited attendee at the Andrew Seybold Wireless Dinners http://andrewseybold.com/events/wireless-dinner where, just before the first launch of the iPhone, Andrew openly stated that he would be surprised if the iPhone sold a million in the first year.......

Steve Ballmer probably had a similar thought:

I didn't mention Microsoft but in the early 2000s, the Windows Mobile phones were perhaps the smart phone with the biggest market share of the total mobile phone market. I think Microsoft may have had 8% or so of the market. After many restarts, Windows Phone today has less than 1% market share. I haven't met anyone who cares about writing apps for Windows Phone.
