Forbes says Stock Market Performs Better Under Democrats

[Worst Username Ever]

snip

Over the years, several studies have shown that the stock market has fared markedly better under Democrats than Republicans. (see: "The Presidential Portfolio") The difference, according to Pedro Santa-Clara and Rossen Valkanov, both professors at the University of California Los Angeles Anderson School of Business, is much too large to be random and cannot be explained by fluctuations in the business cycle. Nor can it be explained by higher interest rates in Republican administrations.

... sponsors of the Republican business consortium (er, "party"). Crony companies, the current owners of the Republican party for example, probably do better under Republicans -- at the expense of everyone else.
