253.0. "The market and the presidential politics" by SOLVIT::CHEN () Mon Jul 20 1992 15:19

The market has been backing down quite a bit lately. Besides the regular 
mumbo-jumbo of different economic indicators, I am just wondering is this has 
anything to do with our Democratic Presidential candidates? I heard they are 
going around the country and telling people about their BIG spending programs. 
That means more taxes. With the high national deficit and sluggish economy, 
it'll surely put this country into the dumpers. I guess their "spending" 
talk's made people on "The Street" feel uneasy, especially Cliton and Gore are 
leading the polls so far ahead of Bush. 

So, what do you think? How should we prepare for November?

253.1Cliton ~ Dow ~ TSFO'edRT95::HUOlympic GameMon Jul 20 1992 15:5017
    
    USA today has article talking about Clinton/Gore's ticket, apprantly
    Wall St don't feel easy about their leading score so far in the race,
    and cause two days continuous downslide.
    
    For Novmber election, I would agree that Dow will continue slide if
    Clinton get elected and recession continue. In my opinion, Government
    don't have too much instruments to turn around the economy because of
    mountain deficit. Lowering interest by FED alone proofing powerless
    move so far. The return of 90' is going to be around 2-5% above
    inflation.
    Unless government as well as individual digest their debts, we won't see
    any robust economy like 80's until 1994 or 1995 at my best estimate.
    
    
    FWIW

    	I agree with Michael.  (.1)  There are so many uncertainties in
    our, and the world's, economy that the Presidential election is just
    one more variable.  And personally, I don't think it will really make
    much difference _which_ candidate gets elected since either will be
    presiding over the continuation of the 80's party hangover.
