As pleased as I am with the election's outcome, the rise in the markets won't hold up, imo. It took me a long time to figure out, but the Stock Market isn't generally a reflection of the economy. I predict the markets will settle back into chugalug mode soon and then react occasionally according to reaction to outlooks/perceptions. It was much simpler when investments were made based on whether Alan Greenspan scratched his nose as he walked out of the Federal Reserve. Sniffles and pollen count ruled.
A lot of money was made in the recent downturn and upswing; most of the money was probably made by the people that sparked the downturn only to buy back at lower prices.
