- Many investors are worried about the election's effect on the stock market, most often through a Biden victory leading to actual - or feared - measures that would clobber corporations.
- There is truth in the assertion that the market likes Republican victories, but the magnitude is pretty small: a 4.5% price swing over 30 days.
