303.0. "Market trends-before and after Pres. elections" by GAVEL::GUPTA () Fri Oct 30 1992 16:02

    Does anybody have any information about market trends before and after
    Presidential elections? Anybody aware of any Wall Street pundit's
    forecasts for the market over the next few exciting days?

    Supposedly, the dollar is heading up in anticipation of higher interest
    rates and a stonger economy. 
    
    In fact, dollar has been heading up, and will continue in that direction.
    However, there may be a short-term correction, due to the "hype
    factor".   People are like children; they expect too much too soon.

    somebody did an analysis of the stock market, and found that except for
    one year(end of World War II?0 the market rose by around 3% in the
    following year.
    
    I heard it on the radio - it must be true! 8-)

    conventional wisdom has it that the two years following a presidential
    election are weak, and the two years leading up to a presidential
    election are relatively strong.
    
    as one factor in a more comprehensive model, this may be useful, but
    used alone I think that the phrase "a little knowledge is a dangerous
    thing" applies.
