Quote:There was a pretty strong rally in the stock market(s) today, what the markets do tomorrow will be interesting.  Why is this relevant?  Because the stock market is going to look forward to the "leadership" and possibilities for the new President.  There are several outcomes that can happen.

 

Trump wins a majority of states - The market(s) are going to drop because the idea of Hillary Clinton actually getting the nomination and therefor the Presidency are higher.  Wall Street will project serious bad news.  I would have to agree with Wall Street in this case.  While I agree with some of what Trump says, he is not realistic and will take the country down.  I don't see him winning in the general election and that would mean a win for Hillary.

 

Cruz wins a majority of states - The market will probably stay somewhat stable, but will probably be down due to uncertainty of a Cruz win for President.  While I agree with Cruz on much of his policy, I don't think that he will be able to pull it off.  Much will ride on who he selects as a running mate.  I would say that the stock market reduces the gains made today.

 

Rubio wins a majority of states - This pretty much makes him a "shoe-in" for the nomination.  He has the ties inside of the "Washington Elite" and will get big money from donors backing him.  I do believe that he can beat Hillary in a Presidential Campaign Shootout" and I think that it would be a landslide.  I also think that markets would respond accordingly and move higher.  I believe that a ticket of Rubio with possibilities of Carly Fiorina or Nikki Haley as his running mate would beat Hillary and whoever she chooses as a running-mate.
