it matters not what the market does or who's President at the time. Eisenhower (R), Kennedy (D), & Johnson (D) all served during these periods.
I'm not sure why this is so hard. No one is arguing that the extraordinary investor like Buffett wouldn't do well regardless.
THE points are that a robot index fund does better under Dem presidents than it does under Republicans. looking backward before there were such instruments. The MARKET does better.
And the new job numbers are the clincher.
You could fairly state that the numbers for two of the last three presidents are not a trend.
But the article deals with a 53 year sample.
And again, there's not a Republican leaning poster on this board who would not place their credence in the numbers IF they showed them to be in favor of Republicans over the same 53 year period.
